It seems to characterize WalterBright as a troll.

Of the “home truths”, of course people can disagree and debate them, but we should ask ourselves what we know that they don't know before dismissing them out of hand.
All that aside, we still don't call people we disagree with trolls on HN; that's a term reserved for consistently-bad actors who should be banned.

Let's be fair here, the GP is comparing this to the complexity of other bureaucracy in Germany. In that context this does sound easy, e.g. here's how you form a GmbH: https://major-grooves.medium.com/just-how-complicated-could-... > Snark aside, this chart makes total sense > to me now: https://i.redd.it/fxks3skmvt4e1.png Not that we're doing all that great here in Europe, but this list is somewhat an artifact of str…
The overall amount of innovation is absolutely not the same, you can easily compare productivity growth in both regions to see the EU is also lagging there. Also, the chart does include companies that are European headquartered (like Spotify) unless I’m mistaken. Even if it didn’t though, don’t you think it’s a problem that a group of 600 million people cant form an attractive enough capital market such that its comp…

how does your link answer my question?
> Or whatever the definition of poor is in your country? Do you read your own questions?
You sent a link from BBC. Same as “more than 50% of Americans don’t have an emergency fund”. Very useless by itself.

Those comments seem to me to be a combination of Dad jokes and “home truths” from someone who has lived long enough, witnessed enough, and whose career achievements are objectively impressive enough, that their perspective should be at least a little food for thought. Of the “home truths”, of course people can disagree and debate them, but we should ask ourselves what we know that they don't know before dismissing th…

Ah great, not so bad then! So you just need to: - Form a German holding company to manage the business - Deal with any conflicting taxation/regulatory issues when operating a german holding company from your new country of residence (in some countries this is not trivial) - Visit Germany twice per year and potentially more to deal with German authorities that require things be done on paper and in person (hope you di…
Germany seems like a great country to be an employee as long as you're happy with making a fraction of what you'd make in any other country and have no designs of doing anything more with your professional life. Provided you can even get a full-time job since they seem to treat keeping your job as a civil right.
Are you trying to just incite reactions? This is a very unfair take. German salaries are among the highest in Europe, sixth highest according to Wikipedia, and for many Europeans and non-Europeans it still is a land of opportunity. Certainly a better place to be a professional than almost "any other country", as you put it.

I still grow my own wheat and bake my own bread. Farm my own vegetables, raise chicken... the works. No, I took every opportunity to learn new skills and advance in life. You can mock me all you want, it is not going to change my opinion that you be poor if you chose to be poor.
Yes, the single mother working three jobs in America who still can't afford healthcare for her children chooses to be poor. It's like success gets to your head and pride takes the place of empathy.

I am very tired of people just complaining and blaming everyone else for their situation.

I asked if you personally onow any poor people and why they are poor and how come they cannot escape their condition. You sent a link from BBC. Same as “more than 50% of Americans don’t have an emergency fund”. Very useless by itself.

My situation is pretty good thank you! But unlike you, I have empathy. I want us all to contribute to a society that helps out those who need it.
But don't come here on a high horse claiming that everyone should have the same inclination like you.
