I still think every person working a cash register should be allowed one free kill at work every year. People would be a lot more polite if they knew there was a chance they could face actual consequences for their actions. Would especially help around the holidays, as you dont know if this Taco Bell employee has burned his kill yet prior to the new year

There was a short story I can't find right now based around the idea that everyone gets one legal murder in their life.

it'd make those political campaign donut stops more fun for sure. can you imagine being JD Vance and hearing everyone shout DIBS when you walk into Dunkin

One of my little ideas for 'fixes' for political problems has been 'if you get voted in, you have the job for life, but can be fired at any time,' as in out of a canon, at a brick wall. Better keep those approval rates over 66%. Donors come and go. The canon is forever.
