The tendency of a government to make policies and regulations that cause people to suffer and or die in larger numbers and or sooner rather than make policies that reduce people's suffering. This issue can be seen very frequently when the government is dealing with taxation, corruption, disease outbreaks, water and air pollution caused by hazardous waste, etc.
Hugo: The government keeps raising taxes every year, even though they know that large numbers of people may be driven into homelessness and may not be able to afford the resources they need to survive. This may lead to many people enduring unnecessary suffering. Why do they keep doing this every year?
Alan: Because many of our political leaders care more about their agenda than the actual needs of the people. They could have tried to make a new revenue source that does not rely taxes to generate income to help eliminate the need to raise taxes every year, but they are lazy and argue its unnecessary; when in fact it should have been done years ago. This issue is an example of the Rush to Die Phenomenon.

Someone who isn't good enough to be your ride or die. They are your friend, but you really don't want them there until the end. People named Camden use this a lot towards their friend who is totally, completely, and udderly deserving of the "ride or die" title.

1: Used to express anger or annoyance towards someone 2: Used to express that you want someone to go away 3: A boastful way of declaring victory , in the form of ‘eat’ or ‘ate shit’
1) They said I suck? Well they can eat shit and die.
2) There’s someone knocking at the door. Well I’m not answering it, they can eat shit and die.
3) Did you beat Joe in the race? Yes, he ate my shit.

Literally to consume ones own excretions - a byproduct of their biological existence - in a manner akin and even more vile than cannabalism - and then promptly cease to exist; it is not simply because they have eaten the shit that they die but because in the grand scheme of things they are eternally damned and will simply perish by the will of the universe, presumably.
Although the Russian insults to call someone the pus from the zit on the ass of a diseased camel is quite poetic and rich, the English phrase "eat shit and die" is in the Anglo tradition a more perfunctory and utilitarian insult which is at the same time existentially profound and shockingly curt.

When some jack off angers you, this is what the perfect phrase to go to.
"Your family tree must be a cactus cause everyone on it seems to be a prick!"
"Oh yeah? Eat shit and die bastard!"
