I asked my grandmother (who was born in 1910) what they did back in her day. Her answer—old rags.

She also said some people used sugar rags as pacifiers for their babies.

My next question was did they burn the first set of rags after use?

They did.

My suggestion is everyone send their old rags to this moron and she can distribute them in government buildings.

How about making sure there is TOILET PAPER FIRST!!!!

I can’t stress how many time i have been in state ran places and there is no toilet paper.

Now a days when i know I am going to one of these places, I bring some sheets ahead of time with me.

That being said i would NEVER trust a state provided tampon, EVER, god knows what sicko they would have refilling the dispensers that could only get a job refilling a government tampon dispenser.

Government should not be sticking itself in such personal places.

Who in their right mind would use government supplied tampons?

[ Don’t know of a situation where toilet paper caused toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Wait for the massive lawsuit the first time a woman suffers TSS from a “free” government-supplied tampon obtained from a “state run bathroom.” ]

Could be this “Schmuck” is “Tamping-In” the foundation for a future planned lawsuit by slip and fall lawyers so they can get a whole bunch of money and give him an advance if this passes.

Of course everyone else will be paying for the end result of said lawsuit in higher taxes, fees and “revenue generation” activities, those taking away freedom as well your money.

They would all be empty in under five minutes.

Libs either want it free or no machines for anyone. Some people having something and others nothing is always inherently unfair.

The main foundational fallacy of libtards of all shades and stripes.

It is cheaper to mandate Depo Provera shots or contraceptive implants if you use government services - no period for most women, and no baby unless you get off the dole.
