      Oh, knowing the US, tampon brands will just skyrocket in price because it’s free unregulated money.

      3 generations from now, Americans will travel overseas mindblown that tampons aren’t $60 / 16 pack and along with things like insulin still being dirt cheap.

      “Why’s it so much cheaper here?!”

      “Now, I know you’re not gonna believe this so easily, but…” explains

      “Well I’m glad the government pays for it and not me.”

      “Yeeeeah. I think you’re still not quite getting it…” explains more

      “Noooo. That would never happen in the US.”

      “Okay, so…”

          Ah, building on the social tier anxiety. A classic.

          I just don’t have the knack of turning everything into a way to make money. I watch Mad Men like, “That would never fucking wor- oh… Ooooh, okay… Jeez… And they made a highly successful show about it. Fuck, they’re good.”
