Loved the post. Thank you again for doing this work!
I think many nails have been hit on the head in this post.
For me it’s the broken social contract. All you see is your tax dollars disappear trying to prop up a state that fails to serve its people.
Germany needs to finally shed its authoritarian past and start listening to what people want instead of telling them what they should want and HOW they should want it. Put the service back in civil service; not allow them to act like entitled, unfireable state goons whose job it is to protect outdated rules instead of actively being involved in reforming processes and reporting on the types of usage and access problems people struggle with and trying their best to enable citizens to realize their dreams. (A cornerstone idea of having freedom).
Encouraging entrepreneurs is a nice idea but if they can’t even reform the _Notartermin_ bottleneck then I don’t know why one would really want to be an entrepreneur in a country that punishes failure.
Thanks, Stephen. Agree 100% on the notaries and hassle starting a business. In neighbouring countries you can get a limited company up and running in a could of days. All online.
