The Trump Effect

Recommended Posts

The latest Trump Effect is biodegradable straws.

 

He's on such a role that companies are getting proactive. Seems companies do not want to get in the cross hairs of Trump so they are starting to phase out plastic straws before he embarrasses them with some Trump tweets. Such a great environmentalist. The best. This is a bigly development.

Trump said hes so scared of germs he needs to drink from a straw to avoid contamination:

This is the same guy who focked a porn star without using a condom. :wacko:

That's not the real reason. Remember him trying to drink water a few times at the podium? He ended up having to use two hands like a five-year-old? He's got a Tremor or a palsy. I'm sure penultimate can tell you all about it.

 

I had it for while. It's weird. The closer your hands get to in this case your face or mouth, the more pronounced the Tremor becomes.

 

Was a getting contacts in.

 

Too bad Trump only hires quack doctors.

In July, Seattle imposed America's first ban on plastic straws. Vancouver, British Columbia, passed a similar ban a few months earlier. There are active attempts to prohibit straws in New York City, Washington, D.C., Portland, Oregon, and San Francisco. A-list celebrities from Calvin Harris to Tom Brady have lectured us on giving up straws. Both National Geographic and The Atlantic have run long profiles on the history and environmental effects of the straw. Vice is now treating their consumption as a dirty, hedonistic excess.

Not to be outdone by busybody legislators, Starbucks, the nation's largest food and drink retailer, announced on Monday that it would be going strawless.

"This is a significant milestone to achieve our global aspiration of sustainable coffee :rolleyes: served to our customers in more sustainable ways," said Starbucks Kevin Johnson CEO in a press release announcing the move.

The coffee giant says that by 2020 it hopes to have eliminated all single-use plastic straws at its 28,000 stores worldwide. It will now top all its cold drinks with fancy new strawless lids that the company currently serves with its cold brew nitro coffees. (Frappuccinos will still be served with a compostable or paper straw.)

As is to be expected, Starbucks' decision was greeted with universal adulation.

The World Wildlife Fund and Ocean Conservancy both provided ebullient quotes for Starbucks' press releases. Liberal magazine The New Republic praised the move as an "environmental milestone." Slate hailed the Starbucks straw ban as evidence of as a victory for a bona fide anti-straw movement, one that would hopefully lead to bans of more things plastic in years to come.

Yet missing from this fanfare was the inconvenient fact that by ditching plastic straws, Starbucks will actually be increasing its plastic use. As it turns out, the new nitro lids that Starbucks is leaning on to replace straws are made up of more plastic than the company's current lid/straw combination.

Right now, Starbucks patrons are topping most of their cold drinks with either 3.23 grams or 3.55 grams of plastic product, depending on whether they pair their lid with a small or large straw. The new nitro lids meanwhile weigh either 3.55 or 4.11 grams, depending again on lid size.

(I got these results by measuring Starbucks' plastic straws and lids on two seperate scales, both of which gave me the same results.)

This means customers are at best breaking even under Starbucks' strawless scheme, or they are adding between .32 and .88 grams to their plastic consumption per drink. Given that customers are going to use a mix of the larger and smaller nitro lids, Starbucks' plastic consumption is bound to increase, although it's anybody's guess as to how much.

Actually, it apparently was one of Trumps big things since before he was even potus.

 

Classy move leaving her out in the heat for 10 minutes.

 

But he'll, after he attacked a 95 year old Republican president in our own country...

A logical person may wonder if the porn star story is true.

You for one. I mean instead of saying 'Great job or maybe even good for us, yeah for America', your 1st post in the MAGA thread is 'Obama did it'.

 

Thanks, Sho Left.

The issue here is you all think anyone who doesnt blow Trump for everything has lost their mind.

My post was about someone dropping the mic over this.

 

We wIll see if this lasts...if there was an effect of trying to beat possible tariffs, or if there is sustained growth.

slapping the Koch brothers.

 

The globalist Koch Brothers, who have become a total joke in real Republican circles, are against Strong Borders and Powerful Trade. I never sought their support because I don’t need their money or bad ideas. They love my Tax & Regulation Cuts, Judicial picks & more. I made.....

 

..them richer. Their network is highly overrated, I have beaten them at every turn. They want to protect their companies outside the U.S. from being taxed, I’m for America First & the American Worker - a puppet for no one. Two nice guys with bad ideas. Make America Great Again!

 

 

You won't see any other R's do the above and you won't see D's to that to the rich and powerful D donors. Hillary will suck any put in front of her face if it means a buck or two in her pocket.
