Local Taxes… the issue with EU is the taxes and cost of labour.

eclat · 20 days ago

While that’s also true, the EU varies widely. The tax wedge is very low in places like Czechia or Lithuania and very high in France and Germany. If you add other European countries you get some of the lowest taxes on earth in places like the Isle of Man or Switzerland.

Having said that, the lack of proper integration is a huge problem, like imposing tarrifs of over 100% on ourselves.

Its obviously EU - so not the UK, or Norway or Switzerland or Russia...

I agree it is Eu-wide or pan-EU rather than pan European.

Its probably not going to solve the problems it sets out to given all the differences between EU countries legal systems, tax, regulation etc.

EEA applicability might be less obvious than you imply however.

I am also looking for a stripe atlas alternative.

Having a EU based one will be great.

The problem isn’t incorporation - it’s having accountants in your jurisdiction familiar with the structure. You can incorporate in the UK for £50 instantly but you might have trouble finding an accountant in Italy that is willing to sort your accounts out.

I would like to see the details on this. The EU has alredy jurisdictions that make it "too easy" to run a company and others that make it exceedingly difficult, and the two are in competition. It's one thing to start a company in cyprus, another to start in Germany.

TBH I doubt it's going to be possible with current status. Where will an EU-inc be based, Luxembourg? and how would that be different from any other Lux company.

But maybe we could at least have some business standards that will be enforced all over the EU. It says "Local taxes & employment" , which also means local laws, which means 27 laws for every little thing. I thought they were going to address that

It’s the 28th regime. Look up societas europaea.

I’m from Croatia, and starting and running a company here is expensive. Estonia makes it much easier, so you might think: why not open a company in Estonia?

But here is a problem: If your clients are in Croatia and you have a Croatian company, you don’t have to charge VAT if you earn under 60k per year. But if your company is in Estonia, you are required to charge VAT even if you earn under 60k.

eclat · 20 days ago

Estonian fiscal law doesn’t apply if your company operates from Croatia. The only reason you can’t do this in practice is because you’ll have a hard time finding a Croatian accountant willing to work with your Estonian company. That’s something EU-inc aims to address.

> The U.N. Genocide Report Against Israel Is an Assault on Critical Thinking

It is indeed. The arguments are so poor and obviously ideological. To give one example, it would necessarily imply that every war is an example of genocide.

Experts aren’t taking it seriously, but then again the UN has not been a serious organisation for as long as I can remember. Some serious scrutiny needs to be made of that organisation.

Genocide is a very particular crime, I’m not sure what the obsession with it is. It’s evident that there are examples of war crimes.

IIRC It's Denmark that keeps pushing for this. Is there anyone here to give more background on that?

eclat · 5 months ago

The first promoter of this is actually a Swedish social democrat who was a socialist a very long time ago. I guess she kept the knack for a nanny state.

This is great! I've been looking for an alternative to Strong, since it has a limit on the number of workout templates that you can have in the free version (and $100+ for such a simple app feels excessive).

I added a link to my home screen to make it feel like an app and I'll give it a go for a week to see how it goes.

eclat · 8 months ago

I feel like strong strikes the right balance of simplicity and features. It has everything one needs and no bloat.

The sign up flow on workout cool is really strange - I just want to input my regime and record sessions.

I'm an American and I don't differentiate between jail and gaol; I just assumed the latter to just be a funny European spelling of the former.

But yes, we do differentiate between jail and prison - the former usually being for those with short sentences or for those awaiting trial, and the latter being for those with long sentences. Interesting that other countries don't maintain that distinction - but I guess most countries don't have such a sprawling prison-industrial complex to warrant separate short-term v. long-term detention classifications.
