She said that people who menstruate can't find the feminine hygiene products. All the baby formula is stocked on shelves in the warehouses at the border. Maybe some men's restrooms. They're available there.
Right-wingers latched on to her claims. According to experts, the shortages reported by consumers facing empty shelves in stores and retail suppliers unable to fulfill orders are due to global supply chain issues.
Delayed gratification is one of the biggest challenges we have. The CEO of AIT Worldwide Logistics told Insider that they are used to getting what they want immediately.

The Period Project, which provides menstrual-hygiene products to those in need, is concerned about the rising prices of essential items.
Laurie Rovin told Insider that access to products has worsened over the past year. When trying to order retail, the limit is five boxes per order, because we are having challenges buying bulk period-care products.
She said the cost for a "period pack" was $5.86 when she was the interim CEO. The price of a pack is going up fast.
Increasing access to period-care products should be prioritized by our nation. A person in poverty doesn't have access.
