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..."

"Well I'm glad the government pays for it and not me."

"Yeeeeah. I think you didn't understand that quite right..."

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."
