And its arrow interceptors, which play a key role in taking out Iran's ballistic missiles, are in short supply, according to a U.S. official.

Success is not in short supply.

And also the greenery—it's things that's in short supply—and then the warmth as well.

But there's no electricity or running water and food is in short supply.

Behavioral health services are already in short supply, and with fewer doctors, it's only going to get worse.

Predictability and certainty has been completely in short supply.

So I got a cold email from Dr. Alex Oshmayansky, who wanted to build a compounding pharmacy in Denver to make generic drugs that were in short supply.

It's a measure of how much we generally manage to keep political events separate from our internal functioning that it sounds unusual, and possibly eccentric, to speak of such political events as having any power to drive us mad. Of course, we may sometimes sigh at our screens and let out an expletive or two at a given situation in the company of a friend, but somehow madness, that truly extreme state in which we lose a grip on the functioning of our minds, in which we can no longer contain our anxieties or retain perspective, feels exaggerated in relation to political events that don't personally touch us, when no bomb is directly falling on us and no tyrant is explicitly sending us to prison. We associate sanity with not going mad, even when the world does appear, some miles away from us, in its own way, to have gone a little bit mad. But if things are pressing on us with particular force, perhaps more than is generally held to be legitimate, we might turn to the example of the writer Virginia Woolf, one of the most sensitive humans ever to have lived, who did, it seems, lose control of her mind – and eventually of her life – over the rise of fascism in Germany and the outbreak of the Second World War. Virginia Woolf had not been mentally well for a long time. She had been sexually abused by her half-brothers from the age of six until adolescence. She had lost her mother at the age of 13, her beloved half-sister at 15 and her father at 22. It is no wonder that the world didn't feel quite safe, that she was often terrified, that she internalised what was done to her by imagining herself a terrible person, and that she had great difficulty trusting that anyone could be kind, reliable or properly on her side. At the same time, her challenges gave her an enormous appetite for beauty, gentleness, friendship, literature and compassion and sympathy. She held on extra tightly to what felt good outside to make up for all that was frightened and hurt inside. It is this faith that Hitler, a stranger living far away in another land, destroyed for Virginia Woolf. His aggression, his hate-filled and untruthful speeches, his control over the minds of Germans wore away at Woolf's trust in everything. He seemed to paint the world black and remove the hope that she had always already found in short supply. His cruelty echoed too much that had been cruel in her life. The invasion of Poland and then France and all of Western Europe, the beginning of the Blitz and U-Boat campaigns chiselled away at the foundations of Virginia Woolf's belief in reasoned and principled behaviour. The world had lost its way and Woolf could not prevent herself from following suit. She tried very hard to stop the fears, the voices, the anger and distress, but despite the love of her husband, the safeguards gradually fell away. On 28 March 1941, following a particularly senseless and destructive German air raid on London, Virginia Woolf filled her coat pockets with stones and walked into the River

This says the ideal goal of all monetary systems was to ensure that money is trustworthy and kept in short supply.
