A "cult" has been implicated in cases of parents forcing their children to drink bleach as an autism cure (and surprisingly, it's not the cult known as 4chan):
Parents are making their children drink industrial bleach to cure them of autism—with the potentially deadly practice linked back to a U.S. cult. According to British tabloid the Sunday People, six British police forces have probed cases in which children as young as two have been forced to undergo the potentially lethal treatment.
The treatment being administered is CD (Chloride Dioxide) or MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution)—with a secret Facebook group touting its use to desperate parents in the U.K. The method has been promoted by a controversial U.S. church with a branch in Los Angeles - the secretive Genesis II Church, founded by Jim Humble, a former scientologist.
A 2016 investigation by Eyewitness News and ABC News found an underground network clustered in southern California promoting MMS on Facebook as a cure for ailments including cancer, Parkinsons, and autism in children.
The previous year the BBC exposed a secret conference in which leading figures from the church travelled to the U.K. to promote the use of MMS, which it claims is a non-dangerous religious sacrament. They believe that autism is caused by pathogens and parasites, which Chloride Dioxide kills. Doctors say that the claims of adherents are groundless, the solution is untested and can cause serious harm.

It's true. Bleach is the Final Solution to Assburgers.
Bleach also cures hunger, poverty, education, immigration, abortion, gay marriage, social security, basic income, and universal health care.

Happens that I have a recipe to prepare an exquisitely flavoured and smooth bleach, just perfect for the 1%-ers connoisseurs' palate.
A tad expensive, but that's the price for true quality. Let me know if interested.

Yeah, it's gotta lay out in the sun for a while to properly ripen anyway and that'll take care of the bleach taste.

Education is a dream world where the young people are indoctrinated to vote Green and Democrat and Libertarian when they should be voting Republican like God intended. What young people should be learning instead is how to die and donate their precious young blood for transfusion to Soylent boomers who will live forever.

You do know that educational institutions hate libertarians even more than Republicans, yes? Opposing ideals they can deal with but independent thought is their kryptonite.

If you would quit using poor people to teach the children, then the children would learn the other side of the story.

That's right, kiddies. The Mighty Buzzard could teach you how to be rich like he is, but then he'd have to kill you and eat you. Now sign this legally binding non-compete agreement saying you shall never be as rich as The Mighty Buzzard because he's worth it and you're not.

I'm not remotely rich. I could have been many times over but I prefer to work precisely enough to meet both my needs and desires. And then stop. Time to do whatever I like is worth quite a bit more to me than an extra zero or two on my net worth.
Here's your riches formula though, since you brought it up:
