Adding this to my list of why straw bans are and always have been pointless yet ableist bullshit designed to make people feel like they contributed, which they did, to another distraction from and by the source of the problem.
Edit: from dumpster fire that are the comments to this over on lemmy.world it's obvious that reality doesn't matter, people will still just endorse whatever requires least effort from them to get a pat on the back, no matter how insignificant or even harmful what they're doing is. This topic never fails to get my blood boiling (mostly because it's such a ridiculous and useless thing to cling on to , but it's like people relish the opportunity to take more away from disabled people).
