For those who didn't read the article, Trump claims Biden is too old and senile to be trusted to run the country then proceeds to confuse WW2 and WW3, then confused Biden and Obama and then immediately after confused Hilary and Obama (ie, the headline slightly understates it if anything.)

People seem to be convinced that the worst thing that can happen will definitely happen.

I mean... The last decade or so of general events seems to suggest that's the most likely outcome in most situations.

They always say that like it's anyone's problem but their own. Figure out how to make your business model adapt to changing circumstances or die out, either way this is a problem for McDonald's to worry about internally, not for society to worry about on their behalf.

Maybe. But there is some argument that not every employee needs the same income level so pushing minimum wage up to a level that accounts for employees that need a higher income is a harder sell than some midpoint plus support for those who need extra (single parent of multiple kids supporting their household on their income Vs rich kid working weekends for extra spending money.)

That's true but I'm talking about a tax on employers who pay their staff too little not on individuals.

Because they have so much money from raiding there tax payers pockets that they can get away with raiding the tax payers pockets.

What we need is a 100% tax on profits until the cost of government subsidised labour is repaid. Because that portion of the "profits" is just raided directly from tax payers in the first place.

This is basically like if John Deere started following everyone around so they could charge a farmer 1 cent every time you bite into a vegetable you bought at Walmart.

Do W4 have a publically available fork they want people to switch to? I was under the impression they were just offering third party porting to consoles. I don't really understand how they would be able to even offer a proprietary version with support to directly build console versions.

Not to mention that they eat their own dog food. The Godot application is itself running on Godot engine (which is also super useful for people wanting to add to it or make changes. eg. if you can make a UI for a game in Godot, then you can mod the actual Godot interface quite easily.)
