The classic argument, if you can’t pay XXX$ for some bullshit someone else invented and that doesn’t belong in 21st century, then you’re business is not sustainable. IHKs exist for the sole purpose of lining their fat pockets on other people’s hard work, like other professions in Germany, notary included.

Then they should be free to hire them on their own dime.

- pchangr 4y agoHaving lived in Germany for 5 years.. I think you hit the nail. Germans don’t like things to change. They like what they have as it makes business predictable and decisions easy. And if that means getting behind… so be it.
- ekelsen 4y agoThis flippant comment completely ignores the known problems with getting rid of rent-seeking behavior. Those that benefit from it will try very hard to keep it and the vast majority that are harmed, but only by a small amount, will not organize and campaign aggressively for its removal. So it's very possible that the system is not liked by most Germans, but the dynamics are such that it stays the way it is.
