Nothing to stop people from bringing their own "medical" devices. Are businesses required to provide tampons to women on their period???

Honestly, I cannot believe how unhinged certain people are over it.
1. those stirrers (even the hallow ones) are semi-solid, you can not suck through them very well
2. the ''''point''' of the overbearing law is about plastics and the environment... so why allow stirrers (and all other plastics) yet discriminate against one type of plastic, particularly straws
liberals constantly discriminate, yet say they are "oh so compassionate".... liberalism is truly a mental disease

Since you mentioned "the point" (not discounting your post)...
My point is that feces in public is fine, people breaking the law is fine... straws are the enemy.
Make straws available upon request only. Some people will ask for them, many will not. There is no reason to hand them out with every single drink, because a lot of them won't get used. On the other hand, this new law seems completely over the top and I say that as a liberal.
I want to keep stuff out of landfills as much as anyone, but I really don't think this is the hill we should die on. Some communities don't even have curbside recycling yet. Let's work on that first.
This law will most likely end. Soon the meth and coke heads will complain they can not find straws to sniff their dope. The city will become out raged that the dopers have to roll up a dirty used dollar bill which is a health risk. The law will be over turned and the meth and coke heads will be heroes.
God, but you people are a bunch of silly drama queens.
This is an update to the municipal code that regulates the serving of food to the public - stuff like hygiene requirements, inspection regimens etc. (No, it shouldn't be necessary to force restaurants to do things like maintaining a rat-free kitchen. Yet, experience demonstrates that it is, in fact, very necessary.)
The ordinance regulating the serving of food does not, believe it or not, come with a look-up table of punishments for each transgression.
So National Review instead looks into the city ordinances and finds the most draconian punishment for any code violation, at all, that exists within the city of Santa Barbara. They then go on to pretend that it will be used for an extremely minor transgression like handing out plastic straws.
It's good propaganda - half truths are ever so much better than full lies - but it's still completely dishonest.
Take a damn chill pill, nobody is going to jail.

so a person with a cleft lip, who NEEDS to use a straw will be discriminated against, because of some fascist liberal law , outlawing (which is what liberals constantly do, outlaw, ban, boycott) straws
liberalism is truly a mental disease
