You just have a bad trackball. My Kensington Expert glides smooth.

No concerns about the company management being corrupt and working against your interests, though?

I’m not in disagreement regarding moving away from disposable goods, especially plastic based ones. Just trying to point out the problem isn’t as cut and dry as you suggested. Straws are popular partly because they are more accessible so any solution that involves getting rid of them should take that need into account.

Straws are an accessibility need for some humans, not everyone is actually physically capable of drinking directly from a cup.

Misunderstanding on my end then, I made some clearly unfair assumptions. I agree with you there and apologize for the mischaracterization.

You might want to turn that incredibly critical eye you’ve got for communism back in on capitalism, that’s all.

Out of curiosity, how do you think governments in large capitalist economies (such as the US) properly account for greed for power and keep it in check? Do you think they are doing a good job on that front?
