I think what we want to do first is remove sales tax or VAT and make these products a normal part of a human life. 50% of humans require this once a month for quite many years in their lives. Over and over we read stories of young women kept in the house at that time of the month. They do not go to school. They are…

I get that, but literally nothing in a tampon is expensive. Not to import or to manufacture. There’s no justification for women having to spend over £150 a year, on average, on feminine hygiene products.

You’ve also got to remember that people from poorer backgrounds don’t necessarily have access to a car/public transport so may be limited to buying their sanitary products from a Sainsburys Local or Tesco Express that may only sell brand name products at a mark-up as it’s a “convenience store”. Having the time and…

I’m guessing whoever calculated the monthly charge is a non-period-having person who didn’t attend Menstruation Orientation.

Yeah that’s the standard reason given. It’s the excess packaging/therefore garbage that bothers me more than the price. Super dumb. OTOH the OTC codeine is also nice so... swings and roundabouts?

Someone explained it to me that they don’t want you to buy so much that you could harm or kill yourself. Then why is there a Boots on every corner? If you really wanted to harm or kill yourself with Ibuprofen, you must be really determined and kind of dumb.

What are you talking about? You seriously think you only spend ~$3 a month on pads/tampons? One standard box is easily $6-8, at least.

A box of name-brand tampons ran me £5.99 last year in the UK. I think it had 5 in them? So £13 sounds right, maybe conservative even.

And yet 2/3 of German citizens were opposed to the Nazi Party.

I should not be laughing at your incredibly witty and succinct assessment of the situation. Everything about this story is so so wrong. I assume there will be a whole bunch of suddenly available seats as some ticket holders weigh the risk and decide going to the Superbowl is a risk they can not take. ICE is straight…

Prove it at the mid-terms. Please.

You have to admit, ICE is a much catchier and hipper acronym than SS ever was.

I mean . . . yes, Steele had bias against Trump . . . BECAUSE HIS SOURCES WERE TELLING HIM THAT TRUMP WAS CONSPIRING WITH THE RUSSIANS TO SUBVERT DEMOCRACY!

Yup. Just read it in full, lots of nothing. Just the same weak talking points they have been using all along.

Because half their slimy asses are complicit in it.

It names sources that any self-respecting journalist or law enforcement official would use as a launching point but not as an actual source. Why are our taxpayer monies going toward these idiots who insult the intelligence of even an eighth grader trying to finish a term paper two hours before it’s due?

Oh man, after finally reading it it’s even dumber than we’d imagined. What a wet fart Nunes has produced here.

“Make America Grope Again”

OMG, any bets that her denial makes him brag about it? In public? On Twitter?
