Does this not work?
I think you can do the same in the post

That solution isn't really a solution.
The minimum cost to live in each jurisdiction
There is no clear objective way to measure that. The absolute minimum to stay alive would technically be just enough for the single cheapest available food, and just enough water to avoid death (maybe not even that, if it's legal to just drink out of a river). I'm sure that's not what you meant. But anything beyond that has to consider the incredibly subjective quality of life question. So what you propose is really just a goal, not an actionable policy.
If you can impose a fine you are a jurisdiction and it is your responsibility to implement
That's a way bigger headache than I think you realize. At any location in the country, you could be fined by the federal gov, state gov, other states if you do business there, multiple levels of local gov (county, city, etc.), even your HOA might be able to fine you. But that all depends on thousands of existing laws and precedents.
Why would any milk fat be required for something to be defined as chocolate? Chocolate doesn't have to contain any milk at all. The only thing my brief research turned up was this, stating that they could only contain up to 5% non cocoa vegetable fats.
Edit: This claims there is a minimum milk fat for milk chocolate, but no requirement for chocolate in general.
That doesn't really make sense either. Why would a high amount of debt relative to income be a good thing? How does it indicate a person is more likely or capable of paying off a loan? If anything it means the opposite.
Honestly, they kind of are. They come with so many tightly integrated features that I've never really had luck getting them to work on projects that weren't made with them to begin with. For a very large project, that you work on for thousands of hours, it might be worth it. Otherwise, a code editor like Kate or VS code can do almost all of the same things with plugins/lsp. I haven't really tried, but I bet they're better at using multiple languages in one project too.
I used to be, as another comment has put, a 'printf caveman', but lately I've been getting into using debuggers more. I do find that the debugger plugins in VS code and Kate leave a bit to desired, whereas KDevelop works a lot better. That's probably circumstantial though. I would much rather use a plugin, if there was just one for kate that would follow pointers.
What's so bad about it?
Uh... No? Ever heard of anarcho-capitalism? Besides, the only consistent qualification to be anarchist is to advocate for the removal of the government (without replacement with another one).
What the hell are you talking about? Nowhere in the Constitution is a response to disease even mentioned. It sure doesn't mention anything about bombing cities. The Constitution has been interpreted very loosely to allow the government the powers it has now, but bombing US cities is beyond the scope of even that. The idea that they have a constitutional duty to do so is even more absurd.
The Constitution is an actual thing, you know. You could read it instead of just making stuff up.
If a person's life is not their own to take then they have no autonomy at all
That's just not right. Autonomy isn't some absolute, all or nothing thing. If it was, then everybody would have "no autonomy at all", because we're not allowed to commit crimes.
Of the full range of possible actions, killing yourself is a relatively small portion of those. Considering that death eliminates all possible future actions, I'd argue that preventing a suicide (of a person that's not dying anyway) actually preserves more autonomy than the alternative.

I have a metal cup on my desk. This cup used to be a rock. Humans took that rock, and placed it into an environment specifically tailored to remove just the molecules we want from it. It was melted, using temperatures far exceeding what a human could survive. It was formed into a sheet, then pressed into shape, using tools specifically crafted for that one purpose. It was painted with a compound not naturally found anywhere on earth, because someone thought it should be green. It was packaged in organic compounds carefully formulated and shaped through hundreds of processes to ensure it couldn't be damaged on its trip to the other side of the planet. All of this for a cup. Why? Because it's slightly more comfortable to drink out of. A problem that wouldn't even register with any other living thing, solved with efforts far beyond their capabilities. And that is our closest competitor.
Humanity has accomplished more in the last hundred years, hell even the last ten, than anything else on earth (or beyond, for all we know) ever has. Yeah, war, greed, and racism are a thing, but it hasn't stopped us before, and won't stop us now. You are comparing real people to some idealized fantasy. A fantasy that only seems attainable because of what we have already accomplished, not in spite of it.
We only aspire to do better because we know what we are capable of.
Not having a dock is one of my favorite things about gnome. I actually use an extension to hide the top bar too. There's just something so satisfying about having 100% usable space on screen. I get all the info back in the win-key overlay, so I don't really need that stuff on screen at all times.
