Should be plenty then.

That’s why you bury it in the backyard and only use little bits at a time.

OP is very neoliberal like that.

That’s the most neoliberal thing I’ve ever heard.

I think he might be succeeding at it

It’s best not to take it literally

Run the frame number through the police, see if it was reported.

I’m not suggesting social contributions should go. But that’s the cost of doing business and as such a lot of smaller enterprises simply can’t afford to do business. It becomes a bigger money game. Which I think is problematic.

Arguably the main problem is national taxes and social contributions. It’s extremely expensive to operate and disproportionately affects small business. Getting started isn’t really the problem, staying afloat is. I suspect lowering the entry barriers will largely result in more insolvencies.

I can only speak for Germany from experience but it really feels like everything you get, you don’t get. It’s just working for the tax department with extra steps and terrible pay.

A small shop will turnover about 30k per month, 10k will go on taxes and non-optional non-taxes like GEMA, GEZ, IHK, BGN, etc. 3 full time staff will absorb 10k in minimum wages and social contributions. The remaining 10k have to cover 2k rent, 1k insurances, stock purchases, packaging purchases, advertising, legal and administrative services, energy costs, some liquidity savings (machines need service, sometimes replacing). There’s nothing left for the owner-operator to live off and they also have rents, social security, energy and taxes to pay. It’s not really viable to do a small business unless it’s something with huge value addition to beat the curve.

The administrative start up cost isn’t the hurdle, it’s macro economics. The money is sucked out of small enterprises because the big corporations aren’t taxable, they have the resources and political backing to avoid being taxed the same way.

Its better to work a bullshit job.
