The critters are astoundingly well-depicted for the Black Death school of painting. (Shut up if I'm off by a couple of centuries). Usually everything is phantasmagorical.
The skate looks good, so do the pike, the turtle, the seal, the octopus, etc. The only exception is that two-tusked monster top left. That would be the drugs.
Also you have salt and fresh water things together with amphibians. That's not going to work.

I'm confronted with dried squid at home. No really; it's a human snack, apparently, that can be found at the local chinese market. To me it smells like the squid rotted before it dried, but to my cat Chekov, it's wonderful. So I give him some as a treat now and then.
I keep it wrapped in plastic, and wash my hands thoroughly after I give it to him.

The deaths are related to previous use of the drug, for its intended use.

I followed your lead, and realized that what I thought was an otter was a seal or sea lion. Still green, but so is almost every animal in the painting.
You can even see the seal's whiskers, the textures of the fish scales and the stonefish/ray's body, and the turtle's head. Wow.

She has to up her game if she wants to out tax bernie. He is claiming that billionaires have no right to exist and he will tax them until they no longer have any money.
He estimates he can tax more than half of the current billionaires out of existence within 15 years with his wealth tax and "substantially break up the wealth and power of a small group of people" and in turn he would give that confiscated money to poor people through expanded free government programs.
That's literally on his campaign website under the "issues" tab.

The reported deaths were among all users of the drug, Lupron, not just children. Outrage about this report misses the larger point. Use of Lupron in children for the purpose of blocking a normal, healthy, developmental process is WRONG!
Biologically wrong.
Physiologically wrong.
Psychologically wrong.
Morally wrong.
Doesn't matter if the drug itself is perfectly safe.
It's WRONG.
I regret ever having worked for an institution that supports this practice.

What Bernie and Warren fail to appreciate is that if someone is capable enough to become a billionaire, they are capable of moving it/hiding it away from whatever tax they come up with.
And really, when Warren started talking about taxing their art, their diamonds all I could think was: how will she do that - will she send government goons to demand to see all of your expensive stuff to appraise and catalogue it? That does not sound like liberty to me. That sounds like the beginning of a government who doesn't think the 4th amendment can stop them from demanding they know what possessions you have, etc.

couple w/ 2 kids making $60K are eating food from Dollar Tree. That
needs to change.
The annual inflation rate for groceries down here is about 7% or 8%. It's been that way for about 10 years. The Living Wage is pushing a lot of it today. I'd be willing to bet there are more than a few food items that have doubled in price since then.
That's a pretty high price to only benefit the 7% or so of working Americans who won't stay at the minimum wage forever anyway. Every time the government begins meddling in the economy, we all suffer. That's the "empowerment" that aggrieved groups are after.

Essentially an attack designed to interrupt your opponents attack. Problem is it ONLY actually scores if you correctly predict both their action and get the timing perfect.
They see a big two handed sword coming at them (the FISA reports and foreign agents starting the Mueller report stuff) and need to stop Trump before that gets published.

Take those kids out of the picture and you are most certainly paying federal taxes.
The system is gamed and all of the "rules" are in Congresses hands. They change them when they feel like it to give breaks to certain individuals or groups.
A flat tax is the answer. Everyone, including corporations that has "income" pays a flat tax at the rate of 8% and that's it, no exemptions or deductions. That gets everybody in the game.

but there's a voluntary recall today because they found a carcinogen, NDMA in zantac and generics.
But the FDA ignores the studies that show that taking zantac causes you to pee NDMA, so it looks like it is actually creating it in the body
the pharmacy that tested the zantac and told the fda there's a problem also pointed that out

Exactly. "Free Trade" theory has a hole in it you could drive a tank through. They assumed that the advantages of one nation over another are fixed, and that capital was immobile. All the factories beat feet to run to cheaper labor, and they never adjusted the theory to account for real world performance.
Now we've got a hollow "service economy" that operates on exchanging our accumulated fortune in exchange for foreign goods. The result is Detroit-style ruins, and if unchecked, will produce those everywhere.
Free trade only works on a level playing field, and when a bad actor like Chiba tilts it in their favor, you have to re-level it by some other means. Playing a game you can't win at is insane.

I don't *need* to shop there, but I do. (In my area the staff is horrible, the clientele worse, but the prices are good.) The hard part comes when you *have* to get most of your food there, because the crappy old car broke down again and one of the kids is still sick and Dad broke his wrist, and Mom finds out her office temp skills from 1999 are woefully out of date. You get the idea.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not advocating anything like the stuff Lies Much Woman or Off My Lawn Sanders are yapping about. Things are vastly better under Trump. Nor am I suggesting that Big Brother Government take care of us. I want BBG to step out of the picture as much as possible, and let us live our lives as we used to.

"income" pays a flat tax at the rate of 8% and that's it, no exemptions
or deductions. That gets everybody in the game.
I second that. It cuts the IRS down closer to its designed size, which is as little as possible. I would also require the Federal Budget be and stay balanced at all times with no exceptions unless a real war happens.
We have the right to do these things to reign in a government that is clearly out of control and is openly antagonistic towards whomever they choose and will punish them for daring to defy them. I'm old enough to remember when this didn't happen as much. I'm pretty sure that's not what Our Founders intended.

We had real inflation running between 15 and 20 percent all during the Obama years. All you had to do was walk down the aisle at the Supermarket. If you really want to see what real inflation is go to Shorpy and look at small store window ads from the 30s and 40s. (equivalent of 7-11's today).

If it was just shipping manufacturing overseas it would be bad enough, but importing entire populations to keep wages on every level low? While increasing demand for many other goods and services, thus causing those costs to rise? Not even considering the other externalities? Madness. Utter madness.

I no longer drink, but I can't help but compare liquor prices from my days as an alcohol consumer and those now. In the early '70s, when gas was .55/gallon, I could buy a six-pack of (not very top-level) beer at the A & P for $1.25. In the mid-'70s, Cutty Sark fifths went for $6.50, and so did Jack Daniel's. Now compare those to prices today.

Also, the local argument over whether walleye is pike or pickerel has to do less with Canadian language oddities (they call a pike a pickerel), than with the Chief Tecumseh Reparation Act, which allows Ohio commercial fishermen to bring in perch, but reserves "walleye pike" for the Canadians.
If you had a walleye-like fish on your line in Ohio waters, and defined it as a pickerel, you might just get away with that. A ton of that? I doubt it.
Ohio sport fishermen are allowed to catch walleye.

Taxes would be voluntary - you could technically opt out entirely by only buying non-taxed items (non-luxury foods, housing, and thrift store clothes) and not investing.
They'd naturally land most heavily on the rich, since the rich buy more and own more large investments.

A. First you would have to eliminate the 16th. I do not see that happening.

the Japanese always get the best because they are willing to pay for it, they simply want it more. I read long ago that most American Eels are shipped abroad and most people don't even know about it. It could be from your local river. We don't favor the food so it goes where people like it.

I know it's called that sometimes (regionalisms for fish names is fun for all ages) but a walleye isn't close to a pike.
Pike, pickerel, and muskellunge have one soft dorsal fin, way aft. Walleye have a spiny dorsal and a soft dorsal, like perch and bass.

If you want less of something, tax it.
See cigarettes and the soda tax.
Want more of it, remove taxes.
See Churches, 501c3s, etc.
Want more people to own homes, allow deductions for mortgages.
Want states to reduce state taxes, or lose weathy populations? Limit state income and real estate tax deductions. LOL.
See how this works. Taxes bring in revenue for the government but much of our tax code is pure and simple behavior modification.
A flat tax would eliminate the government's power to direct behavior, which is why politicians don't want it.

B. If taxing something automatically discourages it, then why are we discouraging people from earning large incomes? Also, why is discouraging saving (as modern inflationary policy naturally does) any better?
C. Did you miss the bit about tax-excluded items? Things like food, sub-median housing, and basic (or second-hand) clothing should be exempt. Basically, the only things a typical poor family would be taxed on would be their vehicles, media consumption, and hobbies.

they like the low wages for their servants, like the broader base of consumers, like the higher price for goods (which they sell), like the broader base of BigGov voters (since they control BigGov), like the welfare state that taxes the middle to fund the lower (virtue signaling plus funding the poor to keep buying their goods) ...
Turning America into a third world hell hole is fine with them, they live in the expensive areas, keep the riff raff out. And they can keep a majority in debt, so they have to show up for work to keep up with the interest payment to the banks. such a deal.

No, Canadians do not call pike "pickerel". They are two distinct species of fish. Pickerel are sometimes referred to as "walleyes", and pike are called "jackfish", "hammer handles", and "slough sharks". Or just "pike".
Pickerel are good eating. Pike is OK, if from a cold water lake, but the forked rib bones are a PITA.
