Thank you kind person!

The article did mention them as “registered”, so I don’t think this applies.
According to Wikipedia it’s not, so you’re safe
I’m loving the puns quoted in the article haha
“Setting up a base in Vietnam” for a US company sounds like slightly painful wording to me…
They did, but they didn’t see as sharp of an energy price increase as far as I know. Our energy bill has increased so much that we had to not only deal with project (and thus payment) delays due to the shortages, but also with projects suddenly not bringing in money but costing us. This had a compounding effect on many small businesses.
It might be overstating some things, but I’ve heard quite a few hardware startups fail the past years due to parts shortage, rising parts costs, energy costs, etc.
On the large industry scale the machine is ticking away just fine, but I’ve experienced first hand how those factors have decimated any reserves small players have over the past few years. And large companies don’t innovate nearly as much as small ones can - competitive advantages for the future are definitely lost here. While that may not be a problem today, that does mean Germany will be behind on innovation in 5 - 10 years.
Does anyone have any context about the “assassination wanted” banner in the listing image? I find it quite shocking, and the article didn’t make any mention of it that I saw.
I am surprised it’s called “America’s celebrated work ethic” - from my (Dutch) perspective, it’s notoriously terribly exploitative and bordering on dystopian for many. Is it true that people celebrate American work practices?!
