in any service job, aiding the customer is "my privilege, glad to help, come back and see us", etc sort of stuff you say to your paying customer regardless of your skin color...if you want to keep your job. it's not some conspiracy...:rolleyes:
Babylon Bee is a satire site. The joke is a play on the fictional ‘white privilege’ narrative. Where I live, the vast majority of service jobs are staffed by people who do not think of it as a privlege(it is a chore they do grudgingly). A response of ‘you are welcome’ when I say ‘thank you’ is very rare.

Canada bans plastic straws
That's what happened here in Germany a few years ago.
Everyone was proud and felt so responsible and environmentaly conscious. Myself included.

After some time I got to thinking:
Why the f++k just straws? 🤔
Can't imagine that they contribute all that much to the plastic problem...

I guess this plastic straw ban doesn't hurt any big players in the industries (and plastic straw manufacturers don't seem to have a strong lobby).

Politicians could feel proud of themselves, seems like crafty political green washing to me...

In Canada they banned single use plastic bags but when you buy milk here it comes in 3-1 liter plastic bags inside a fourth ,you buy bread in a plastic bag with a paper bread clip,it's bizarre.

I assume this is the same for milk and especially soda which is pretty acidic…
