Get the stop killing usmug. Mafia term for "paying tribute" to the Mafia Don or Chosen One. These are mandatory voluntary payments to assure the underling or minion knows their duty is to tithe and pay homage in the form of riches to the Chosen One. A model easily adapted to business and politics. Kicking up is much more lucrative than a kickback since it clearly instructs not only one's minions but everyone what the rules for doing business are.
Pence and Barr realized even the role of enforcers were not enough, to curry favor with their political boss since this would add little to his wealth. They would have to start kicking up to advertise the fact that they also had to humiliate themselves by going out of their way to frequent his businesses.

Get the kicking upmug. Turning air, water, and land into toxic substances at a global level. This occurs when chemicals, toxins, particulate matter, biological organisms, nutrients, radiation etc are released in large enough amounts to create an unsafe environment in which life forms get sick or poisoned. People can get sick directly from even small amounts of pollution such as mercury, or they can indirectly such as from the harmful effects of solar radiation when the ozone has been removed by a chemical bath. Nuclear fallout from power plants or weapons can have significant effects even when small amounts are released.
Global poisoning may dwarf the harmful effects of global warming and give India and China as examples.
