Tempers Fray As Argentine Tampon Squeeze Extends To 20 Days
While Venzuelans line up for hours every day to garner staples such as soap and toilet paper, the Argentinians have a potentially more explosive problem. As Reuters reports, the country's 20.6 million women couldn't find their favorite tampons earlier this month - during the height of summer - "for 20 days, we simply couldn't source any tampons from wholesalers." The government vowed to keep the supply chain filled with tampons as media talk of a "run on tampons" stoked peoples' fears that Argentina is rapildy heading down the same socialist utopia track as its neighbor.
Argentines have been complaining for a while now about the country's product shortages. And, until recently, the government has managed to brush aside such protests, which have centered around Argentina's import restrictions.
Well until, that is, the country's 20.6 million women couldn't find their favorite tampons earlier this month - during the height of summer.
"For 20 days, we simply couldn't source any tampons from wholesalers," said Ariel, a 29-year old pharmacy owner.
To be sure, Argentina's tampon squeeze is a far cry from shortages plaguing Venezuela and Cuba. But it has managed to launch a debate about the country's tight control of imports and foreign currency.(Imports were down 11 percent during the first 11 months of 2014, the latest period for which data is available.)
The government vowed to keep the supply chain filled with tampons - and apparently has had some success at that.
But, at the same time, it has remained defiant. Officials of Latin America's third largest economy blamed logistical problems, among other things, for the shortages and made it clear there will be no policy changes.
Of course, as Bloomberg reports, the Argentine government blamed the media (as opposed to its drastic restrictions of selling foreign currency)...
A lack of tampons in Argentina over the past few weeks is due to a surge in demand caused by irresponsible media reports, Commerce Secretary Augusto Costa said, denying that import controls were to blame.
“There was a sort of tampons run,” Costa said in a Radio Del Plata interview late yesterday. “It was induced by media operations.”
The press stoked a "run on tampons" as part of "campaign to delegitimize the government's system for managing foreign commerce,"
But it's not the first time...
Shortages are just another in a long list frustrations felt by Argentines. Chief among them: inflation that is, according to some estimates, soaring at just under a 40% annual rate. It is so bad that many Argentines are calling for a change in leadership in next October's elections.
Shut out of global credit markets since its record 2002 bond default of $100 billion, Argentina restricted imports three years ago to protect its shrinking dollar horde. Many retailers complain those restrictions have been tightened since another debt default in July.
"The government has no long-term strategy for imports ... It just deals with each issue as and when it arises," said Miguel Ponce, spokesman for the Chamber of Importers.
The government's response to such criticism? It believes opponents, including the media, are using the tampon supply as a weapon in the debate over trade policy.
...
On the bright side, the tampon shortage has provided an opportunity for a good, though not exactly tasteful, joke or two on Twitter (Sample: "If I take back from Costa Rica tampons for all the women asking me for some, they will stop me at Ezeiza (airport) for being a tampon trafficker")
Still, the lack of supplies is no joke for merchants and consumers alike.

We will see it in the USA at the end of 2015.
I hear HAY is quite absorbent ;-)
Looney
shake the chiggars out first...
Just print money to creat jobs to manufacture the tampons. It really is that simple. If in doubt, get Chinese advisors to run your economy.

According to the Boston Globe, the Russians informed the Americans that they were refusing any more US help protecting their largest stockpiles of weapons-grade uranium and plutonium from being stolen or sold on the black market. The declaration effectively ended one of the most successful areas of cooperation between the former Cold War adversaries.

Marxist utopia!
Ever hear a progressive tell a libertarian to move to the libertarian paradise of Somalia? Well, why don't progressives move to places like Argentina?
Answer: Because Marxism only works when wealth created via capitalism can be redistributed. They have no ability to create wealth. Marxists naturally gravitate towards wealthy countries (e.g. United States) and tell the people who created the wealth (e.g. hard-working libertarian minded people) to shove off to places like Somalia.
It's a bloody mess
Can you almost smell the depression now?
I hear the strip clubs still have um so just send um down there.
Thousands of years of human history and women managed quite fine without tampons. For god's sake just roll up some freaking toilet paper/paper towels or rags and stuff them down there. And take some freakin birth control pills, not only will they make the bleeding next to nothing but we wont have to worry about too many freakin Catholics hahaha. In Israel if we run out lots of Towels on the Heads of the Arabs we can just grab and cut into strips. The red chequered ones you see have already been used.
Better yet, teach the women there to walk on their hands, then they can wipe when they invert.
There are enough dollars in Argentina that it shouldn't be a problem to use them to replace tampons.
They can also use sawdust or straw.
Why dont they stick a slice of bread downt there, that should absorb the stuff. Then feed it to the chickens. The bread does wonders with soaking up the jelly.
Thats the problem with living in the cities, folks dont know how to improvise.
Dogs will lick anything. Problem solved!
Hey I notice with all the down arrows that the red bleeding is getting heavy on my post LOL
Yes, birth control pills, brilliant. I agree with you on many things and your one of the more astute posters here on many subjects. You are way off the mark with that advice. Not only does it wreak havoc on a womans body but it's fucked up many a municipal water supply over the years, and I am starting to study some research between higher homosexual populations and large metro areas, along with other factors.
IMHO it's another tool of the evil fucks for population control.
Amazing the shortages Nuland can cause with a few billion dollars. Last she was heard saying was "...fuck Venezuela and Argentina too."

Tampon squeeze just conjours up a really unpleasant mental picture.
I'm hoping they just pull the plug on the whole idea, but will it come with strings attached?

And then, Obamacare coverage for any problems caused by a lack of such supplies in January 2016.
Followed by, the outlawing of any males refusing relations due to "smell".
I just drove around town and bought every single box of tampons I could find. Got a lot of funny looks, but I'm gonna make a killing in the black market.
Makes more sense these days than cartons of Lucky Strikes.......
My father was on occupation duty in Germany post war. Cigarettes were the preferred medium of exchange - but ANYTHING with perceived value - canned sardines or SPAM or whatever served in place of paper currency.
Tampons make sense in this context - a utilitarian product always in demand, not too bulky...... makes sense to me.
Nylons were a big item too!
"It is so bad that many Argentines are calling for a change in leadership in next October's elections."
Wow, then the country might end up installing some other autocratic government just like every other "election" in the world for the past several hundred years.
I'm glad they have such a sense of urgency.
Women are like helicopters, they have way too many moving parts...
Pussies!
Or as an Englishman might say, "Bleeding Pussies!".
Don't bleed for me, Argentina !!!
now that was frickcin funny
No bikinis on beaches, I guess.
And they ran out of razor blades 6 months ago...
BLEEDING BEAVERS!!!
They could always go nude and just let the sand absorb the droppings.
I pity the women - but I wouldn't want to be an Argentinian man right now :-)
This could actually lead to a women's led Revolt...since the Argentine men are obviously too pussified and lack machismo and juevos...
Women on their period are bad enough...
Now they are stupid enough to allow a tampoon shortage to develop??? (Misspelling intended...)
Yes. They opened the gates of hell I will tell ye.
That is revolting.
What guy wouldnt want to say, I fucked her so hard I made her bleed.
This could lead to a bloody revolution.

Not same as Manpads, but mas importante.
Humans, about half of them female, have been around for anywhere from 6,000 years (according to the fundies) to 6,000,000 years (according to the ape'rs). What was used before tampons, or have they existed since the beginning also? Bonus question: what did humans do before the invention of cable TV and the internet?
I'll take bonus question for $1,000, Alex: Did humans exist before cable TV and the internet?
Certainally not in their present form.
Yes, they did, but they were a lot smarter and thinner and had skills concerning how to interact with the physical world.
yes, but everything and everyone was in black and white
Whatever they did, it was clearly inferior to what we do now. I'm certain this is the case because the internet told me.
Some women were literally pregnant or breast feeding for their entire fertile life.
The phrase "she's on the rag" tells you what women used to do.
This is going to be a bloody mess!
I hear freebleeding is popular again...maybe Argentina will be a trend setter?
Then go short women's white pants,

Argentina does not share a border with Venezuela. Hence not really neughbors but OK, close enough for US geographers.
Argentina does have diplomatic relations with Venezuela. The Venezulean Embassy is SOVEREIGN Territory of Venezuela within Argentina. Likewise the Argentine Embassy in Venezuela is the SOVEREIGN Terriory of Argentina within Venezuela.
Thus Argentina and Venezuela actually not only share a common border...THEY SHARE TWO!!!
But you are so damned arrogant that you do not think outside of your preconceived stereotyped boxes...while making a dipshit comment.
Oh yes..I agree that the embassy borders are only "Legal Constructs".
But the truth is that Most, if not All, Borders of the Legal Fiction called Nation States, are also Legal Constructs.

Fuck you asshole. The men in the room are sitting on mommy's lap. And when the curtain is pulled back, we women (who have been forced to work full time, maintain a home including keeping the rent paid and utiliites on, the food supply, clothing for everyone in the house, their medical care, the kid's recreational activiities, expected to have hair and make up, a wardrobe, a running car with insurance and a body that is reminescent of college days) are on our own. We know that. We know you have been dicking around for a few decades, watching sports, talking about your cars, chewing the fat and making observations about us like this one.
Thanks for nothing, boys. When you watch your loved ones being walked away by a stranger, remember YOU TOOK A STAND OF NO RESISTANCE. Then you will understand what JEWISH guilt is all about.
You wanted emancipation and you've gotten emancipation.
EMANCIPATE
1 : to free from restraint, control, or the power of another; especially : to free from bondage
2 : to release from paternal care and responsibility and make sui juris 3 : to free from any controlling influence (as traditional mores or beliefs)(d)e-man-cipated. You wanted the man removed. You got it. The man has been removed.
You are on you're own, now. No man to hold you down -or pick you up.
Enjoy.
ThroxxOfVron: Agree with your assessment. At 50 y/o I’ve never been married and have no kids. I’ve had casual relations with women that lasted twice as long as most marriages. I never had a problem parting ways when each of our lives took different paths. It was simply fun while it lasted.
Destroying the family unit for the sake of "feminism" was a ploy used to get 2 adults earning the wages to make up for increased cost of living and stagnant wages. While the house was empty and the kids were being raised by strangers, we were told we were "EQUAL" but we knew it was a gimmick but it is A MAN'S WORLD and nothing we say matters.
This is your world and you can take the responsibility for where it has led us.
It was simply a ploy to break up the family and start the destruction of the country, all by design...
The motivating factor was to increase the tax base.
They got 50 birds with one stone with the destruction of the family, unfortunately.
As for the angry female telling us to go fuck ourselves here on the message boards, a man designed it but you all fell for it hook, line and sinker. You were not forced. You were tricked. You always want MOAR, MOAR, MOAR! While I'm certain that many men were a bunch of losers that didn't live up to their responsibilities, millions of women gladly dumped their motherly, nurturing role to become XYZ. I loved it when they were pumping the virtues of single motherhood and how cool it was to stick the kid in daycare at age 3! What a joke.
Had married couples been aware and had they discussed things openly as they should in a mariage, things would have been different. Hell, even today, with all the info and people still can't see past their noses.
When you call women "bitches" collectively, expect a response. I am not an American but I have worked beside them and I can tell you this. American women in workplace and in communities (not the house bound welfare recepients and overeaters but professional women) work very hard. Tehy are perfectionists and will stay up all night to clean their homes, and come into work without a bit of sleep just to keep up the appearance of being successful as told to us by the media outlets. How do they do it? They die early.

Life is easier if one is a bit of a slob. I'm not lazy, and I do my own housework, but why do a perfect job of it; that is just silly. If some women want to wear themselves out cleaning, they don't get to blame that on someone else. I have an aunt who works herself to a bone as you describe. All of the rest of us tell her that she is wasting her time, but she won't stop. Does she really get to blame that on someone else??? She is just as capable of laughing at media expectations as the rest of us are.
Holy shit... It was a just a joke. no need to go jihad on my ass.
So you knew it was a gimmick but still bought it hook, line, and sinker? Genius!
Noting having a job is a cardinal sin. "Where are you working?" is the first question and if "I don't have a job" is the reply, the look is one of pity. This was not my idea. Blame Gloria Steinman and Cosmopolitan.
Don't forget your gal pal Betty Friedan but those are all excuses. People who attempt to subvert society do not care about what they spew. As long as it has a destabilizing effect they are happy. As a result, they can only be viewed as AN EXCUSE and not a real cause. Stop making excuses. You are all over the place. It's his fault, it's her fault, it's the magazine's fault. NO! It is YOUR fault.
Dealing with people who think less off a full time mother is what the cardinal sin is. If they don't see the value of motherhood, they should be avoided.
I am not making excuses. There is little that I can do besides spread links and if I counted the number of times I have left ZH links at other sides, since 2005 (could not pass math test so was silent observer...go ahead and make an issue of that - but I am not an investor, not educated beyond a trade school and am only a newshound.
If anyone has even been on Huffpost in early 2000s, you would have known me as my name and that is wendy davis - not the politician. There was a comment about "who am I anyway?" on a thread here...well, I am nobody special just someone who realized a ponzi scheme was in the making when credit was being extended. But I was banned from HUFFPO for the same reason Rock On Roger was banned from ZH...with "Why are Israel's children destroying the country which opened its doors to them?" And I am on FB spreaking links to everyone. Everyone awake that counts other than the old white people who still have their retirement funds intact and do not realize the internet has alternative news sites teling a very different story than MSM.
"Noting having a job is a cardinal sin. "Where are you working?" is the first question and if "I don't have a job" is the reply, the look is one of pity."
Bunny, that is true. However, the proper response is to laugh at stupid people. I avoid gainful employment despite being overeducated, and when people give me a hard time, I say something snarky. Taking other people's expectations seriously is not the path to happiness.
I think a lot of younger women have given up on cleaning; the young American women I know who work don't spent much time cleaning. Boomer women were the last ones to feel like they had to have a spotless house.
High achievers have high expectations of themselves. Love a clean beautifully decorated home. Clutter can be distracting. I plan on getting a huge garbage bin and throwing just about everything away come spring, downsize and take inventory of what the hell is going on here in this world of mine.
The problem is when "high achievers" have high expectations concerning things that do not matter. They create work for themselves in areas of their lives that don't need work. It's cool to be a high achiever when one is e.g. performing surgery, but I just don't get the felt need to "achieve highly" in e.g. having a clean house. It just seems like a way to make up a problem to get all excited about.
"This is your world and you can take the responsibility for where it has led us. "
No. It is your world as much as it is mine.
Take fucking responsibility for yourself.
My mother was a selfish person and abandoned me at the age of 4.
I had no mother in my life and dad was a total loser who has been in jail for the last 22 years just this last stint..
I grew up pretty goddamned fast. I ahve been hungry and homeless. I've freelanced for more than 20 years and have what I have ONLY because I busted my ass and earned it day by day and night by night.
I'm sick of useless women telling me that their problems are all because of men.
I'm sick of useless minorities telling me that their probems are all because of white men.
It's a raw deal all the way around and bitching about (white) men isn't gonna fix the busted economy.
Get your shit together, get tough, get in the fight or get the fuck out of the way.

" to free from any controlling influence (as traditional mores or beliefs) "
Women repudiated the family unit to go run off and amuse themselves.
Men didn't do it. Women did.
Women wanted their cake and to eat it too.
Men on their terms. Family on their terms.
Now they have their terms and are realizing that their terms suck.
Men don't respect them any more than they ever did, maybe they even respect them less.
I've known soooo many women who want their cake and to eat it, too.
IF I made more money it was because they were being 'held down' by men.
IF I made less money it was because I am a 'weak man that cannot compete'.
Either way the man is a loser: either an anti-competitive loser or an un-competitive loser.
Women want two diametrically opposed things from men: they want to be equals AND they want strong 'winners' that out perform them, lavish them, hold the damned door open..
Feminism has ruined the traditional forms of partnership between men and women and yielded nothing to replace them that functions half as well.
Envy. Social engineering has been successful. Where we stay on vacation, the restaurants, the car, the side of town. We are programmed to feel under performing if we do not meet the criteria and again, the media outlets and TV programs have told us who wins and who loses. The people with the most money win. Biggest diamond matters in an office full of women sadly enough. it is the media and advertisements.
Believe it when I say that for the first few years of getting up at dawn to face the animals in the jungle is no fun for us. We need the money.
Bunny, not all women are susceptible to propaganda. I have plenty of female relatives who reject media-values; who see them clearly and think that they are pernicious. I know that many women are envious, but what can you do? If they are that lacking in self-knowledge and insight and values how can you get through to them??? I don't feel sorry for men who due to looking at porn, have unreasonable expectations about women; why should I feel sorry for women who through looking at Vogue have unreasonable expectations about clothing ownership?
Medical offices, support staff, front office - You'd never think until you end up at a party with them and listen to them talk.

Here's a thought that might have escaped you.
Women and men have different roles in the world, but the roles of males and females are, due to evolutionary factors, equally important for humanity.
Different does not mean better or worse.
Actually, that's the beauty of it, isn't it?
Calm down, honey. This is why doctors used to prescribe vibrators for hysterical bitches.
so THATs how you got your vibrator! AND a months supply of Tampons! lol
PS: use the Midol sparingly-but you already know that, you pussy!
When you get a chance, could you fix me a martini?
I'll have a pastrami on rye with hot mustard.
I've had enough sex for 2 lifetimes and sexual frustration is not an issue for me. However, I am single because I haven't the energy to be a waitress and carry my full time 60 hour a week job, a job I have done for 30 years and am making 20% less at, had to become a private contractor and have no benefits (no vacation for 6 years, no day off from work at all for 3 years - I work with a 104 degree fever to keep a roof over my head).
But when I was with a guy, i never expected him to fix my car, work on my house, chase away the bad people in this world or feel responsible for when things went wrong. I paid 1/2 the bills regardless of our incomes when I was living with my lover. It was a mutually satisfying relationship until energy level decreased with age and now, i have no choice but to be alone....however, I had a father who was a Stand Up Man and know one when I see one. They tend to not talk much.
Who is going up and down the page down voting me? It's not my job to figure out what is going on. But I have had to spend the last decade reading the internet in order to do so. And guess what? If you search this name which has been used for 15 years, you will see I have been posting every godddam night "DANGER WILL ROBINSON DANGER" but you boys were too busy jerking off, looking at your reflection and counting your money.
I am not downvoting you.
Yes, it is your job to figure out what is going on. Once you actually find out (and not before), it will also be your job to scream the truth from the rooftops.
The confusion, discontent, anger and bitterness really comes through.
More money will not make you happy. It will make many things easier but it will not (and should not) make you happy.
"It's not my job to figure out what is going on. But I have had to spend the last decade reading the internet in order to do so. "
Emancipation means it IS your job!
WTF did you think it meant? It meant you have personal responsibility now. YOU are YOUR JOB.
Why did you think so many men wanted women to stay home and take care of the kids and the hut?
-Because the men were tired when they finished taking on each other all fucking day out in the rat race, a far more violent rat race than the present partially sanitized for women and minorities politically correct diversity circus!
When it WAS a 'man's world' it was WAY fucking uglier than the soft-core for female and homo and minority rigged game you are being treated to!
On the internet trying to figure out who looted the system when and what to do about it. Good.
Welcome to the scene of the crime. This is a war zone. Combat is underway. Mind the minefield and such...
Just 'cause you don't see bodies piling up doesn't mean it isn't going down all around you.
Are you gonna do anything about this insane criminal bullshit beyond demand more diversity initiatives and hand-outs to insular backward minorities or are you gonna pick up a sharp instrument and clean perps like fresh caught fish? I only have respect for one answer...

Back to 2010 and you will find about 1000 links to ZH. Before FB, I was on HuffPost. Alarms and sirens should have been blaring. Yes. Yes. I do not want to have to leave this country.
bunny, I am definitely not downvoting you, but you could have expected more from the men you were with. It is not unreasonable to do so; why shouldn't the guy you live with repair your car? It seems like you made yourself into a serf; that you didn't think you deserved to be treated well. I don't mean treated well in a gross diamonds/McMansion sort of way; just in a kindly-helpful way. There's a balance where both people contribute and it sounds like you didn't let the guys contribute. It's not too late; you can actually find a nice guy whom you can treat well AND you can allow him to help you.
To answer your question, Karen, I did say I never would ask for their help, not that they did not help me. And, when I married, I was given a choice of whether I wanted to work or not. In my 20s, I lived with a couple guys and they were either paying child support or making no more than me. I knew when it was even. We all do, we all know when we have been shorted and I never felt that way, taken advantage of, that is. It is not the mistakes we make, it is how long it takes for us to figure the mistake out and extricate ourselves from the situation...that is why I liked living together. I like being alone. If I should not end up in a FEMA camp, I plan to write my mother's memoirs (orphan raised in St. Patrick's, Prince Albert, Canada). It was just the cards I was dealt and if there were not so much to worry about, and there is, I'd be so happy, I have dogs.
Dogs are very good company.
:)
some sort of manpussy was caught downvoting you
BunnyS, I took a look at your facebook page. You are beautiful. Your posts on here however come over as if you are in serious pain, a bit shrill. Don't forget you're preaching to the choir up in here.
B complex vitamins are great for calming anxiety, and magnesium before bed is better than a sleeping pill and good for sore legs.
Nobody should be alone. Try going to church. Works for me.
Meanwile in Argetina....it's a bloodbath.
Bunny is in serious pain. She mentioned at one point that both her brother and her father committed suicide. I am relieved every time I see her posts (even though I often disagree with parts of them). Curcumin and fish oil and lemon balm capsules help too, and though I don't go to church myself I somehow convinced a neighbor to become a regular churchgoer and she is much happier.
I hate to break the news to you, because you already know this, I am upset about the state of affairs globally. I was the black sheep in my family as I did not drink and that caused me to not spend much time around them as they were always sitting around the table, getting smashed. I am not a thirsty person and have to force myself to drink enough to get a buzz. But I smoke some fine earthly herb and have a lovely home with a mortgage of 600 plus tax/ins, paid for car, best job I can hope for in my field with regard to pay, if you can believe that. No, I am not in pain.
I was responding to this:
PS> What did one tampon say to the other?
Nothing, they were both stuck up bitches!
I hope you are right. That would be cheering.
I think the tampon joke was just dorkiness.
It is rather astounding that the people who are making comments regarding my state are shocked at my frustration after over a decade of watching this train wreck unfold. Bad things are going to happen to Americans. This is war. And Americans are losing. When America loses, the world's people lose. China is buying up real estate with EZ term loans and they are not being announced. Huge masses of land are being bought up as are ports, abandoned military sites, commercial and residential real estate. I have had to deal with Calif Comptroller's office for last year. EVERY person I talk to is Chinese. Every one of them.
If you think you are going to be able to ride this storm out in a little world, you are wrong. This is not going to be a friendly take over once the SHTF.
I have fought tooth and nail (what does that mean anyway) to get here and you can bet I want to live out the remaining days in relative comfort after working so hard to overcome my family's legacy.
No Tampons = Revolution!
Is the US gonna send foreign aid... Drop 1 ton pallets of tampons from airplanes lol
like the old saying There will be blood in the streets.
Why The Fuck is the government, managing tampons? Does nobody in Argentina see just how fucking bizarre this is? This is twilight zone stuff.
Why the fuck is the government managing all sorts of things?
The management pays itself better wages and benefits than those that it manages.
Seizing control -aka management- is seizing control of the dispensation of profit and benefit.
Try reading some of this man's work pertaining to the relationship of public & private bureaucracies to those they purport to 'serve':

tampon, temper, tantrum... i came, i saw, i ovulated
What's all the fuss about? Can't they just pull a few strings to source some?
Nothing to do with "Socialism". Only with normal capitalism.
The corrupt socialist regime of Cristina Kirchner blamed the media rather than her regime's drastic restrictions of selling foreign currency...
Meanwhile Cristina Kirchner's wealth has grown more than tenfold since she and her late husband began leading Argentina--gains they attributed to lucky moves in real estate and the profits from several luxury hotels they own in Patagonia.
"Cristina Kirchner's wealth has grown more than tenfold since she and her late husband began leading Argentina "
It's called 'looting'.
Kirchner is a picker compared to the likes of Hillary & Pelosi.

This market's had it!
I tells ya, there'll be blood in the streets!
(oh ya, I went there)
There'll be blood in the streets!
As the Brits would say... "Bloody Hell".
Yes, there will be blood!
(No, I'm not drinking that milkshake!)
...especially during a tampon squeeze!
