There is no law providing for such a sentence, so what you are talking about is either "make billionaireism illegal" or "extrajudicial punishment". In the case of the former, we need a Guillotine Party to take over the DNC much like the Tea Party took over the GOP. Or, we need a guillotine party, French Revolution style, to resolve the problem-class at its source.

Freshwater fish can still have mercury. Even farmed fish can have mercury contamination, if their feed is sourced from the wild.

If you won't eat fish though that sounds more like a you problem.

Nah, I'm perfectly happy with my hot dogs. You're the one eating broken thermometers and fluorescent lights.

The alternative interpretation is that the second driver was doing 50, and honked at the first driver when they passed doing 70.

Fish are carnivorous, and mercury is bioaccumulative. So, larger fish tend to have higher concentrations than smaller fish, but pretty much all fish have some level of mercury. There is no "safe" concentration.

But the real problem with your scenario is that I'd prefer hunger pangs over fish, grilled or otherwise.

Parent comment discussed "anxiety", a condition which has its own associated morbidity and mortality, and should also be considered when evaluating these studies.

Mercury.

Welfare isn't assistance to the poor. Welfare in the US is those efforts specifically designed to denigrate and humiliate the poor.

Means testing increases costs and decreases effectiveness and should not be included in these programs. But it always is.

We need to start thinking of ourselves as "shareholders". We invest our individual political authority in out government, who uses that authority to provide essential services to business and individual customer, while charging for those services via taxation. Without the political authority of the citizenry, they would have no ability to provide those services.

We are each individually owed a return on our investment, separate and apart from any of the services we receive from the government. UBI should be thought of as a citizenship dividend, owed to the "shareholders" of government. It is not "charity".

1000 people show up to the annual picnic. If we remove hot dogs from the market, and dont serve them at our picnic, or any picnic, ever, 40 of those 1000 people are going to get colorectal cancer.

If we do serve hot dogs at our picnic (and every other picnic), 43 people are going to get colorectal cancer at some point in their lives.

Pass the mustard.

Mariokart tournament?

Don't explain the situation to anyone. All HR (actually, the payroll department) needs is a new W4, instructing them on how much to withhold from your pay for taxes.

You dont need to explain your reasoning to HR, and HR probably shouldn't know your intentions anyway.

Absolute worst case, open it up, rip out its guts and replace with an Arduino set up for HID mode.

I remember as a kid, hearing the phrase "Don't think about elephants" and elephants being the only thing I could possibly think of.

I don't know when exactly, but by 40, I had learned to shut off my inner monologue. I realized it when I came across that phrase again, and realized that I could, indeed, consciously stop thinking about elephants.
