Falls ihr zufällig ein großes Unternehmen besitzt, als Grundgesetz-Fans keine Lust auf Rechtsextreme habt und deshalb gerade bei den Familienunternehmern ausgetreten seid:

Habt ihr nicht Lust, den Mitgliedsbeitrag künftig an @pruef-de.bsky.social zu spenden? ;)

Thanks, John. Marc and I thought this was an important paper to write. It was an issue that has long bothered both of us. Hopefully it helps applied peeps think a bit more carefully about their model.

Strategische Unabhängigkeit Europas:

1) Putin-Regime wird 2026 wirtschaftlich kollabieren, wenn Sanktionen erhalten und verschärft werden.

2) Trump-Regime und MAGA werden 2026 elektoral kollabieren.
