I have no documented empirical evidence, but my wife did have a significant health issue that 'magically' disappeared after our first child was born. Given that there's no other known natural repair process for what she had, I certainly attribute it to fetus-supplied stem cells.
I've been told this is common. My wife had medical issues only when pregnant as well. I have a sister-in-law that only needed glasses when she was pregnant. Pregnancy does some wild stuff to the body.
the number of systems which are like that, I don't think that anything in nature is linear, apart from the human mind
True, reality is likely Gaussian, and that's why Gaussian functions occur so frequently in nature.
Personally, I am glad that Oregon tried it rather than my home state, so everybody else could learn from the failure. There was a lot of debate going back decades as to if something like that would work or not.
Unfortunately, this will not settle the debate. Portugal has had a great deal of success with similar policies. Why was it a success in Portugal, and a failure in Oregon?
I mean yeah there's Medicare but it takes damn little income to get kicked off that.
That's Medicaid. Medicare is for retirees.
This isn't a whole lot different than the mad rush of Tesla fire stories we saw a couple years ago - every single one had to be reported nationally all of a sudden, even though there are orders of magnitude more car fires every single year from ICE cars.
Exactly. There has been so much talk over the past decade about misleading information on the internet. Traditional media has been misleading people for decades by hacking the human brain's availability heuristic. It's almost impossible to find trustworthy information!
