The stock market tanked yesterday, at least two U.S. soldiers were killed after missiles hit the Ain Al Assad air base in Iraq, and the Biden administration has a laser-like focus on plastic utensils.
No, seriously.

We're so glad there are no more problems in the country or the world.
Then again, Biden doesn't get brief until 2:15 pm, so.
The Biden administration announced a plan to target plastic pollution, dedicating particular focus to “phase out” single-use plastics – such as kitchen cutlery, cups and straws – across federal departments.
President Biden announced the order taking aim at the “climate crisis” in July which would require an “all-hands-on-deck response” from every federal agency.
“The President is committed to taking ambitious actions… to end plastic pollution and is calling upon the global community to do the same, with the goal to reduce the global production and consumption of virgin plastics,” the White House said.
This lasts precisely until there's another pandemic, FYI.
What about on planes?

Air travel is stressful enough, don't give them ideas.
Biden has really been banging out some hard-hitting policy as of late 🙄🙄🙄

What a legacy.
So now have to use cutlery that has to be washed which means much more water usage. This is the priority of the basement dummy? This administration is stuck on stupid. Banning these items won’t do a thing in terms of CO2

But it makes them feel good. And that's all that matters.

This is great! Just great!
I’m sure that’s comforting to people who will never retire…

Sure is.
We may not be able to afford food, but at least we'll have nice utensils to (not) eat from.
Right! That’s what the American people are worried about. 🙄In the meantime, we can’t afford to buy groceries, gas, and pay our mortgages and rent. But Whoa plastic cutlery!!! For sure! 🖕🏼

They really, really care about you.
The notion that plastic cutlery causes bad weather is incredibly stupid. https://t.co/lusKsfrXzo
