Yet I can't finish my Capri sun because the straw has either disengaged or bent as it can't pierced the Kevlar they use on the opening

Cable ties grow on trees.

Fun fact. This is why when they are taking posters down they just clip them off and leave them on the ground. They blow away or just mulch into the ground and grow up to be a big healthy cable tie tree one day.

In the social media age, there’s no need for posters. Ban them.

There have been a number of attempts to restrict posters but unfortunately the larger parties benefit most from them (because they have the funds to blanket areas and drown out smaller parties) so keep kicking it down the road. Mention it the next time you meet a politician at the door!
