Isn’t the bigger point that these left wing nut bags are actually passing straw laws?Just to put this in persepctive, the STATE OF CALIFORNIA would like for waiters to be fined $1000 and possibly spend 6 months in PRISON for handing an unrequested drinking straw to a diner.........BUT CALIFONRIA WANTS ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS TO GET FREE HEALTHCARE, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE and CITIZENSHIP........even though they committed a felony.
Summary:
Hand a straw to a restaurant patron....punishment is $1000 fine and 6 months in prison.
Committ a FELONY by immigrating illegally...get thousands of dollars of free shit!
California is FUCKING INSANE.
If you had bothered to read the whole link from the OP, you would have seen that the bill was amended to drop the fines.
You're going bananas for nothing.

Not really, no. That is only daily fast food customers.OK... 50 million customers using 1 straw is 1/10th of the 500,000,000! Don't you find that just a little off?
so 50 million fast food, 20 million juice 70 million! 14% of the 500 million!
Not really. In fact, in our grandchildren's grandchildren's time, the ideas to limit our use of plastics will be seen as being on the correct side of history. They're the ones who will get to dig out of the pile of plastic.Isn’t the bigger point that these left wing nut bags are actually passing straw laws?
/----/ What's fake about it? California Considers $1,000 Fine for Waiters Offering Unsolicited Plastic StrawsCalderon, the Democratic majority leader in California's lower house, has introduced a bill to stop sit-down restaurants from offering customers straws with their beverages unless they specifically request one. Under Calderon's law, a waiter who serves a drink with an unrequested straw in it would face up to 6 months in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
"We need to create awareness around the issue of one-time use plastic straws and its detrimental effects on our landfills, waterways, and oceans," Calderon explained in a press release.

yep.... keep going.... don't forget waste... don't forget stirrer straws....
/-----/ Disposable drinking straws - the new Global Warming scare.Oh yes, easily that much. Every refill...new straw. And the waste.... I ordered stock for a restaurant, and it was almost baffling. We went through easily 10 times as many straws as people we served.2 straws per per person per day! Everyday!
Anecdotal story! You are making your experience the rule and not the exception.
A) babies can't use straws.
B) some old people can't use straws.
C) Not all restaurants provide straws.
500,000,000 x 365.25 days in a year is 182,625,000,000 billion a year.
Va Plant Produces 4B Drinking Straws Annually
The above article states this company produces 4 billion straws a year.
The below link counts 15 companies in the USA that make straws.
15 companies times 4 billion per company is 60 billion straws.
https://www.manta.com/mb_35_E829002W_000/straws_drinking_made_from_purchased_material
The 60 billion straws PRODUCED is only 32% of the purported 182.6 Billion straws used!
It doesn't make sense!
The number is not accurate when it was based on a survey done by a 9 year old kid!

Fantastic. So by then the US can be taken over by an invading force armed with sporks and these kids will be too traumatized to fight back.Not really.

You keep saying that as if it makes it ok.Golfing Gator has already told you guys that this hasn't been passed into law yet.
And..................if you would bother to read the OP's link, at the bottom it says that the bill has been amended to get rid of the fines.
No...................waiters aren't going to have to pay a fine of 1,000 per straw.

California Considers $1,000 Fine for Waiters Offering Unsolicited Plastic Straws
The actual number of straws being used is unclear. Calderon, along with news outlets writing about this issue—from CNN to the San Francisco Chronicle—unfailingly state that Americans use 500 million plastic straws a day, many of them ending up in waterways and oceans. The 500 million figure is often attributed to the National Park Service; it in turn got it from the recycling company Eco-Cycle.
Eco-Cycle is unable to provide any data to back up this number, telling Reason that it was relying on the research of one Milo Cress. Cress—whose Be Straw Free Campaign is hosted on Eco-Cycle's website—tells Reason that he arrived at the 500 million straws a day figure from phone surveys he conducted of straw manufacturers in 2011, when he was just 9 years old.
California Considers $1,000 Fine for Waiters Offering Unsolicited Plastic Straws
Consider this have you used two straws today? Today, and everyday you've been alive.
500,000,000 divided by 230,000,000 Americans is 2 straws per day. Everyday.
Oh and by the way this fine of $1,000 is based on a phone survey by a 9 year old.
Oh yes, easily that much. Every refill...new straw. And the waste.... I ordered stock for a restaurant, and it was almost baffling. We went through easily 10 times as many straws as people we served.
They just figured the fine was a bridge too far... for now. But get the law on the books then ramp up the penalties later.

I'm saying that you guys are freaking out for no reason. No, waiters aren't going to have to pay a fine because the bill has been amended so that there are no fines.
And, if there are no fines, what is there to worry about?
