The major turning point where artistic standards quit existing was dadaism around wwi anyway. And that's a good thing. As much as there are people that hate modern art you really cant effectively set rules. Soon as you do somebody, somewhere will find a way to color outside the lines.

The whole razors/needles/drugs in candy thing seems to have started after a case in Texas where a poison Pixie Stix, I believe, killed a little boy. As it turns out, though, the boy's own father did it for the insurance money.

It may be a stealth op already and I don't want to blow their cover, but I basically think people who buy life insurance on their kids should be preemptively investigated as a rule.

My parents took some wierd insurance/savings thing out on me, when I hit 18 I got it and could either cash out for some cash or let it mature on interest and get more money later.

I guess their brilliant plan went sideways because they never succeeded in killing me.

You take out life insurance on a kid because:
1. People are horrible and the unthinkable might happen.
2. The younger you are when you first get life insurance the cheaper it is for your whole life. Like $10/month cheap.
3. They can cash it in for college and stuff when they grow up.

It still feels weird AF when I renew it yearly though.

Yeah it's potentially a good thing to do if you, like, actually have money. Many forms of life insurance are basically a needlessly morbid savings account.

Whole life insurance on children is stupidly inexpensive and everyone should have it on their kids. I pay for policies for my niece and nephew so they'll have around $20k in cash value when they turn 18.
