I heard that liberals want to ban toothbrushes and deodorant.

Crazy liberals.

They always manage to shoot themselves in the foot with their stupid legislation.

If only they had better aim...
Makes you wonder who greased who over when the benevolent legislation was passed.

Exactly Correct .. this article has 13 paragraphs.... only one of those paragraphs is about “climate change”.
The other 12 are about controlling what people eat.

Great. Another liberal diatribe telling people that they know what's best for them. If anyone tried that on them they'd be taunted with names, have an army stalking their house, and a media blitz to destroy their life.

But you could still get a Happy Meal at the drive-through.

Such small-minded thinking. Some people have mobility issues that make it hard to go inside. But keep on with your stereotypes. Some people have small kids in the car or pets.

Ban that.
I have a 21 year old german sports car that I drive for fun, less than 1000 miles per year.

Every 24 months it gets emission tested and I have to drive it at high speeds and high engine rpm, generating massive pollution, so I can get the catalytic converters sufficiently hot to ensure I pass emission testing.

Liberal logic strikes again. Although, I’m sure if it was up to them, my car would be confiscated and taken off the road due to age.

I heard conservatives want to ban common decency and reason.

yep, i was in that line for 2 hours a couple weeks ago, in this case waiting to use a self-serve kiosk.

the reward for this lunacy? after scanning my mailed code, the screen said 'unfortunately, a test cannot be completed on this vehicle at the VEIP kiosk at this time.'

You know, I would not want to live near a drive through. I also think that cities have to make hard decisions about traffic, congestion, aesthetics. As time passes, people come to value different things in their communities.

There are still plenty of drive through opportunities. It is not as if all or most drive through windows have closed.
