Lukas RotermundHow do you go about registering a small business as a sideline in Germany? My landlord won't let me. Does that mean everything depends on this, or are letterbox companies a legit model here? I'm not really interested in saving tax, after all. And I don't want to rent an office for my expected €1,000 income a year, haha

WIST QuotationsWe may congratulate ourselves that this cruel war, which has cost a vast treasure of blood and money, is almost over. But I see in the future a crisis approaching which fills me with anxiety. As a result of the war, corporations have become enthroned, and an era of corruption in high places will follow. The money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its rule by preying upon the prejudice of the people, until all wealth is concentrated in a few hands, and the Republic destroyed. I feel at this time more anxiety for the future of my country than at any time in the past, even in the midst of war.
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)

First night of the Scotland leg of the film tour! The audience in Augustine United Church spoke afterwards about many issues from local to global.
One topic was the revolving door between industry and government. This results in, for example, weakened environmental assessments for AI datacentres.
However! Edinburgh recently had a victory in that area: https://aprs.scot/news/an-analysis-of-the-edinburgh-data-centre-decision/

A quotation from Hyman Rickover
A preoccupation with the so-called bottom line of profit and loss statements, coupled with a lust for expansion, is creating an environment in which fewer businessmen honor traditional values; where responsibility is increasingly disassociated from the exercise of power; where skill in financial manipulation is valued more than actual knowledge and experience in the business; where attention and effort is directed mostly to short-term considerations, regardless of longer range consequences.Hyman Rickover (1900-1986) American naval engineer, submariner, US Navy Admiral
Speech (1982-01-28), Joint Economic Committee, U.S. Congress, 97th Congress, 2nd Session

A quotation from Wendell Berry
The folly at the root of this foolish economy began with the idea that a corporation should be regarded, legally, as “a person.” But the limitless destructiveness of this economy comes about precisely because a corporation is not a person. A corporation, essentially, is a pile of money to which a number of persons have sold their moral allegiance. Unlike a person, a corporation does not age. It does not arrive, as most persons finally do, at a realization of the shortness and smallness of human lives; it does not come to see the future as the lifetime of the children and grandchildren of anybody in particular.Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace — business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.
Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me — and I welcome their hatred.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882–1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933–1945)
Speech (1936-10-31), Madison Square Garden, New York City
