And? You would have flown to the US? That "beacon of freedom and liberalism"? Where people get put in jail for overstaying 2 days of visa? And people get kidnapped in the street?

That's really your dream?

We're MUCH better in our European democracies. And they work better BECAUSE we have less inequalities, and BECAUSE people who made money have to pay their fair share of taxes so it benefits everyone, rather than just corrupting the politicians in order to build their "DOGE" bullshit

US as destination is so unrealistic that I'd never really considered it. Also this was about leaving Germany, not necessarily leaving Europe.

maybe better in terms of overall living standards but not in terms of innovation or the state being friendly to someone running a business

well what matters in the end is living standard. Innovation is cool, but it's pointless if it is to serve a stupid fascist society

the OP is about the difficulty of running a business in germany, not living standards. And what matters is always subjective

My wet dream for Europe.

I would rather live/work in the US than Germany . I lived almost my whole life in Germany
