I don’t agree that the plastic straw ban is due to wildlife endangerment exclusively. It’s the non-biodegradable nature of the product. I agree with you on the plastic 6 pack rings though. That is a wildlife issue. Seems like the simple solution is to make editable straws..cups..forks..plates..just sayn.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4Cc5zmy0eY

While I'm at it might as well put piazo sensors in a steering wheel cover with computerchip and have it wifi the health / stress information to wherever.. Also..for babies in car..when turned off rolls the windows down sounds alarm..wifi chip to first responders..car owner..or turns car back on with air conditioning...

Put this setting in the vehicle's touchscreen and connect the phone with the vehicle similar to bluetooth, but using gps location services. Vehicle sends signal to phone and phone vibrates and sounds an alert with a text of the alert. Owner can then tell vehicle to start up w/ air conditioning or set a command for start in x minutes etc. Maybe have a command where owner can dispatch alert to first responders if needed.

The big day in Canada is next week October 17th. It will be interesting to see if we hear anything from RLS soon after. Last weeks filing had that familiar name in it Arthur Rubinfeld. A former Microsoft consultant who helped build the Starbucks brand and friend of Kevin Johnson. Is Starbucks getting into the pot business in Canada is the $Billion question. SecondCup has already announced they will be dedicating some stores to pot. The pressure on Starbucks is clearly on. IMO Technosphere Pot would be a game changer. Its clean, classy, predosed and lung healthy. Mike said last week they are using the prefilled cricket for RLS and its "flying beautifully". It sure would be nice to finally see the MNKD pps fly. When sayhey talks, I listen. 👂

The plastic straw ban is related to wildlife endangerment, similar to the plastic rings on 6-packs of cans IIRC. I know that Disney already does not sell them in the Animal Kingdom park, but they do in other parks. But they do give you wax-paper drink straws if you ask for them. 5-hour energy, etc. would be the closest parallel I can think of, and there is no outcry about recycling those I don’t agree that the plastic straw ban is due to wildlife endangerment exclusively. It’s the non-biodegradable nature of the product. I agree with you on the plastic 6 pack rings though. That is a wildlife issue. Hoping this is not a "cross-post violation" but see my post here: mnkd.proboards.com/post/161238

With Receptor Holdings, Inc raising $29 million of the $30 million goal to fund RLS. Mannkind Corp should be receiving a milestone payment soon(by EOY). $5-$10 million maybe.
