I don't see how you can substitute Paris or Rome with a nature hike. I enjoy a hike as much as the next guy, but I doubt I'll run into something like e.g. the Vatican on my journey

It comes down to accepting VC money and the expectations that go along with it. Obviously a sustainable business is a great thing, but if you're taking millions from investors they want a return.

Uh huh. I'll remember that the next time a ton of bricks falls on my head when passing a construction site. Do you have any reason to believe this is an actual, honest to God, widespread problem?

And what if you can't obtain that evidence because the person in possession won't hand it over? What if your only 'witness' is a corporate entity? What if your witness just doesn't like cops? Probably a hundred more

How do you envision that playing out? If the court has no power to compel testimony they have very little power in general.

There are restrictions on how that amendment may be used, and ignoring a subpoena to testify against _someone else_ is not a valid use. Besides, she hasn't pled the fifth (because she can't as it makes no sense.)
