Reminder on how base fees work for blobs. With 3 target blobs per block, to a first approximation, if demand < 3 per block on average, price goes down all the way down to 1wei where it currently sits, since there was no reserve price in the market design.

An unusual natural experiment that randomly denied abortion access to some women, but not others finds that lot of bad things happen to the women who are denied access to an abortion.
