“Targeted killings”.

That’s what I was thinking. Honor killings, for things like adultery, but only of females.
But, yeah, rent and Republicans are bad, too.
I’d add “externalizing costs while internalizing profits” in the general environmental arena.

Torture, waterboarding, gitmo, separating families at the border. Illegal, made legal, perhaps declared illegal subsequently, and as far as I know no one who authorized or ordered it without it being ordered from above themselves - to say nothing of most of the people who carried it out - has faced any legal consequence. Therefore, legal.

About 50% of the Trump presidency (the other 50% was, technically at least, illegal).

Companies like Bain Capital that derive profit specifically through the destruction of other companies really bother me. It’s hardly the worst thing on this list but the failure of unfettered capitalism here is sooo obvious.

I think 10 million is quite adequate to be “rich.” Good lord, who needs 7 houses.

With $10-million in the bank you make $400k a year without lifting a finger or losing any principal. I think most of us could scrape by on that.

I’ll add one of my own: monopolies, and the ability of corporations to buy and sell other corporations and to create sub-corporations at will (i.e., shell companies for dubious purposes).
A tiny example: model railroad paint brand Poly-Scale was bought by generic model paint brand Testors which was then bought by huge overall paint company Rustoleum. Poly-scale was then discontinued. Maybe Poly-Scale was having problems, but there must be a better way than all this consolidation into monopolies.
