alt Hacker NewsMy Dear German friends, please accept that EU-inc is a massive boost for EU competitiveness. Continuing to block progress here only proves that the EU is good at making promises on paper but fails to deliver real change.
The reason this "28th regime" actually works—and bypasses the previous vetos — is that it’s optional. It doesn’t try to force Germany to change its local GmbH laws or kill the notary system overnight. Instead, it creates a parallel, voluntary path. Berlin doesn't have to give up its red tape for local shops, but they have to let a "Unified European Company" exist alongside them.
If we let national pride or local bureaucracy stop this again, we are essentially telling our best founders to leave for the US. Let’s stop protecting red tape and start protecting our future.

National sovereignty is not national pride. Paying company taxes to the 28th regime evicts tax contributions to the company's home nation. Massive German tax money is already today used for non-national interests. EU-inc makes this only worse.
If you think we have a say in whatever our boomer politicians do, we have not. It wouldn't matter what parties we vote for, none of them are equipped to make informed decisions, and if they have people informing them they'll just ignore everything they learned. Germany currently is in a downward spiral into borderline fascism, I don't think coming with rational arguments will be fruitful. All people care about are foreigners and gas bills.
This idea was made by French and German government . I'm not sure why do you think the German government is against it.
