this could be true that as a different example along the lines of the same conclusion: Women-only medical conditions are less known by medical fields, and there are fewer treatments. Its because the society treats women's lives less seriously. For example pregnancy is still pretty mysterious in general medicine.

Compared to Ethereum, stellar is simpler in operation, not as popular, and considerably more centralized. All those contribute to having much lower fees.
Stellar plays nice with banks and other financial institutions, but still facilitates easy and cheap global payments, which is why I recommend it here even though you could achieve the same result with other blockchains like Ethereum.
You are aware of how beef is raised, right? From antibiotics to increase mass, to an unnatural grain based diet, to confinement and CAFOs. Beef you get at the supermarket is far from "natural."
> It's not just about life expectancy, but life quality. I think we'll one day be surprised just how many mental health and chronic illnesses are significantly attributable to air pollution, in all its forms.
You can compare selling a database to selling git. Nobody is selling git itself, they sell the hosting around the tech, or create a dev workflow (gitlab) that uses git at its core.
If anyone tried to sell git itself it would be impossible. I never used mongodb for reasons listed in the article. But there is free and open source and resilient postgres.
the companies who succeeded around git did not build git. it would be a tough thing to develop both git and the hosting / workflow business around it.
so I guess the lesson to learn is don't try to build extremely sophisticated software as a startup where there are already good enough open source alternatives.
