Article from Reason by Christian Britschgi.
Portland, Oregon, is the latest city to crack down on plastic straws, voting unanimously Wednesday to introduce a straw-on-request law.
It’s not the worst straw restriction I’ve seen, but it is nonetheless a depressing reminder of how normalized this form of petty authoritarianism has become.
The new Portland ordinance forbids food retailers and institutional cafeterias (like those at schools and hospitals) from offering straws, plastic cutlery, and single-use condiment packages. They can still provide those items, but customers must first request them.
Violators of Portland’s ordinance will be hit with a $100 fine for a first offence, $200 for a second, and $500 for every violation thereafter. A business cannot be penalized more than once in a week for handing out unsolicited straws.

Demonstrating once again, when looneyeffin liberals get into positions of authority, strange things happen.
But…But if it saves one child….
Of course as Oregon is a Kalifornicate no.2
So there is another group of petty tyrants although the asinine city of Portland doesn’t surprise me. The city is run by ultra left numbskulls, patrolled by cowardly police and has a non compos mentis for a mayor.
Yes, this is why no one should ever vote for an idiot Democrat! They have already determined that the plastic waste these nerds are worried about come from Asia and not from America. Once again the liberals cannot think with their heads! Our system handles straws to be disposed by our garbage protocols. But an idiot Democrat cannot understand that so the go off on tangents making fools of themselves.Especially California, Oregon, and Washington. The loons!
I guess that if the Democratic Party keeps this up I think that they will become a none party, because no one will take the seriously, which they shouldn’t want to do anyway, and they will never get anyone in the White House again.
Unless they steal the election.
