(JNS) First it was baby formula, now there’s a tampon shortage. Tampon prices are up 10% due to the rising price of oil affecting the cost of plastic and higher cotton prices due to mask manufacturing and the war in Ukraine. A whole lot of fertilizer comes out of Ukraine and Russia. So does neon, which is used to make semiconductor chips. The chip shortage is shutting down car plants.
This is the thoroughly interconnected world celebrated in prose by journalists like Thomas Friedman, who marveled at how Big Data and globalization brought everything together.
“No two countries that both have a McDonald’s have ever fought a war against each other,” Friedman once claimed. In his greatest paean to globalization, “The World Is Flat,” he argued that, “No two countries that are both part of a major global supply chain, like Dell’s, will ever fight a war against each other as long as they are both part of the same global supply chain.”
McDonald’s in Russia has closed and the ones in Ukraine might be blown up any time. Russia restricted its neon exports while Ukraine’s neon exports have fallen sharply. Dell CEO Michael Dell has warned that the global chip shortage could last for years.
So much for the Golden Arches and Dell theory of globalist conflict prevention.
The world isn’t flat, but all too round. Much like history, which isn’t an ascending trend line to the right, but circular. That’s why Islam is once again at war with Europe, Russia is invading Ukraine, China is relaunching its empire and the “flatland” is experiencing a dimensional shift.

They should think twice before stocking MEN’S restrooms with such nonsense. If not at least we can resell them.
As Mark Levine joked “’Big Tampon’ is responsible for the shortage of Tampons. Just as “Big Oil”, ‘Big Pharma’, ‘Big Baby Food’, and ‘Big Whatever’, are responsible for their shortages. Perhaps Big Tampon is trying to make obscene profits off of Women’s woo woos. The shortages are created by government mismanagement and interference.

See, now that’s why I like McDowell’s on Queens Boulevard.
They have a salad 🥗 bar.
In a somewhat amusing aside…the Biden Administration was considering “gas rebate” cards for Americans to offset the fuel prices. The thing that stopped the plan was not the lunacy of more free money….it was the fact that they wouldn’t get the chips for the disposable cards.
The globalists who sold out their native sheeple in the name of “diversity” can’t even imagine cultures that treat their citizens as real people with rights and national aspirations.
Note:
China does not discriminate against and demonize ethnic Chinese.
Russia does not discriminate against and demonize ethnic Russians.
India does not discriminate against and demonize ethnic Indians.
Japan does not discriminate against and demonize ethnic Japanese.
Middle Eastern countries do not discriminate against and demonize their people.
It is only the decadent Western oligarchs with their war on white people who pursue this strategy.
They are going to lose—because they should lose.
Saw a meme that said the reason there’s a tampon shortage is because we have more pussies in the America than ever before.
That idea isn't new. In the years leading up to WWI, Norman Angell was arguing that the economic integration of Europe made war obsolete.
PRC (Politically Repressive Canada) has its 'big pussy'
You’re so right. I think that knowledge is finally smacking the globalists in their vacant noggins that their plans are a detriment to a free society.
Anyone over 60 has lived through the problems of “globalization” and now everyone else is experiencing the mess too. Not to mention, it’s a National Security issue that we haven’t experienced previously.
We need to make ending this nightmare a policy issue starting yesterday.
... that they wouldn’t get the chips for the disposable cards....

Have they again played themselves?
Is the chip shortage + time to build new fabs + sanctions impacting rare earths gonna put a crimp in the proposed Digital Panopticon?
Asking for a friend.
Might Bare-Shelves Biden announce a similar emergency importation of tampons?
Behind all the brands on shelves is a creaky Soviet system in which a handful of massive enterprises interconnected with the state lazily crank out low-quality products from vast supply chains that they no longer control and feel little competitive pressure to perform better.

Baby formula purchased is for mothers who are ignorant and lazy
Recipe:

Well put.
We are MOST SHORT on MORALS since we kicked GOD out of our country!
“now there’s a tampon shortage”
Men and women are OUTRAGED! /s
I’m glad I got my new hot rod there are shortages and constraints on different functions and even line shutdowns 🤪
That is the way my Mom did it back in the early 50’s.
