Absolute joke what FIFA did with the World Cup tickets. Almost impossible for people to buy. The resale on 3rd party websites and the prices they have set should be illegal. #FIFAWorldCup2026
We just got this Force Majeure letter today from AirGas, our helium supplier (for our food science lab, where we have multiple mass-spec instruments that use helium).
The letter says that helium supplies are cut off, and if you're lucky, you might be allotted HALF the helium you need. Even then, you will be charged extra for any helium you get. A LOT extra.
So basically, every mass spec lab in America is about to go offline. AirGas is expressly invoking FM and saying they cannot meet their contractual obligations. Not their fault. Trump did this by attacking Iran.
My lab is fine, of course, because I saw this coming and I ordered my lab staff to buy a one-year supply weeks ago. We already have it in place. So we're still up and running with plenty of helium.
But very few lab science people are paying attention to the Strait of Hormuz, so they are getting blindsided by this.
Trump's war is shutting down science labs all across the country right now. Don't dare call this "winning." It's a loss for America. And the world.
He survived war in Sri Lanka and arrived in Canada on a rickety ship packed with Tamil refugees. 16 years later, he's still fighting for protection here https://t.co/67ayDD3vkH
PRESALE! OUR FIRST BLUE FLAVOR
CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF WE’VE NEVER HAD A BLUE FLAVOR CALLED BAJA BLAST (THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ILLEGAL AS A COMPANY CALLED PEPSICO OWNS THAT NAME).
BUT WE’VE HEARD YOUR CRIES:
“WE WANT SOMETHING SIMILAR TO BAJA BLAST IN FLAVOR AND LOOK BUT THAT DOESN’T INFRINGE ON PEPSICO’S TRADEMARK!”
WOW. WHAT A GREAT IDEA. WISH WE THOUGHT OF THAT.
SO NOW WE’D LIKE TO INTRODUCE — FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME — A NEVER BEFORE RELEASED BLUE FLAVOR NOT NAMED BAJA BLAST:
SPORT DRINK...

Cost of living in Canada is so high you'll soon be seeing your average citizens form their own grocery specific organized retail crime groups. Retail theft will become the norm.
