Time to stop the Trump sane-washing. Iran is a strategically meaningless war. This is Trump- driven by a narcissistic personality disorder, amplified by neuro-diverse traits that heighten impulsivity & fixation on a single idea- chasing a “war president” adrenaline rush without a coherent objective.

We need to tax wealth not work. Why? Because usually no matter how hard you work, the compound interest on huge wealth grows much faster than your wages + the rich use this passive income to buy all the assets. Someone made a game to show this: therichdont.work

Important #indiedev / #gamedev tip: Youtubers and streamers may avoid your game if any audio gets flagged by YT's automated copyright system (Content-ID). Check this by uploading the soundtrack as an unlisted video and wait a couple hours for it to scan. I learned this the hard way on my first demo.
