I guess my question is who gave the Americans the right? I say this as an American. But would not the world be a better place if we just minded our own business and quit nation building and stoking non existant fires?

      German here: just creating and selling something is one thing that jumps to my mind.

      The concept of “I have an idea and a bit of money so I’ll just found a company” is … Tiresome. Possible, yes, but the legal hurdles both good and bad are ridiculous. You need way more time than in the US just for the formal overhead and even then you are way more in it with your own private existence.

      As founder “beschränkte Haftung” is not as limited as it sounds at first if you’re not firm in legalese for example.

      Food delivery as something normal, I’d think. Plumber coming soon after being called. Appointment with doctor to a close enough date.

      Those things affected by actually having labor rights and less dependence on colonial mechanisms.
