Iran War Ruins Another Thing: Your Grandma's Hippie Incense
Centuries of trading rare tree sap goes up in smoke thanks to the latest neocon boondoggle.

So, the Iran War, or whatever they're calling it these days, has messed up the supply of, get this, ancient resin. Yeah, that's right, the same stuff your Birkenstock-wearing grandma burns to cover up the smell of patchouli and her cat. Turns out, this tree goo has been traded for centuries, and now, thanks to the geniuses running our foreign policy, it's all snarled up. You know, the same geniuses who told us Iraq had WMDs and that Afghanistan would be a cakewalk. The implications? Well, fewer crystals and tarot card readings for suburban soccer moms, for one. Also, some actual people who depend on this trade for their livelihoods are probably screwed. But hey, at least Raytheon and Lockheed Martin are doing great, right? This whole resin snafu is just another reminder that every time the US decides to play world police, it's not just about bombs and bullets. It's about screwing up the global economy in ways you can't even imagine. Think of it: some goat herder in the mountains is probably cursing our name because he can't sell his resin anymore. And for what? So some politician can look tough on TV? Wake me up when it's over. Or, you know, when they start trading Bitcoin for resin instead of dollars. Now that's an economy I can get behind. Until then, I'll stick to my essential oils from Amazon and avoid inhaling anything that smells like foreign policy. Maybe next time, instead of bombing Iran, we just offer them a bunch of NFTs. At least that way, the only thing getting destroyed would be people's bank accounts, not their livelihoods and centuries-old trade routes. And you know the funny thing? I bet you can find someone on Etsy selling 'ethically sourced, fair trade' tears of the oppressed any minute now. Capitalism finds a way, even in wartime.
