You were very clear as a business owner i have tons of extra responsibilities. I should go extra mile to "demonstrate". I am single guy, with a few houndred euro a month (lower salary than garbage man), and I have the same obligations as company of 249 people!

Again, most companies hire an office to "demonstrate best efford" and to offload personal responsibility from company owner. This still applies to one person business!

> The EU is responsible for so many things you just take for granted: A single market larger than the USA with a single currency; hundreds of EU-funded programs for small businesses with grants available easily; common standards across the entire union; protection from foreign traders; cross-border regulation and mobility; even things like funding for public infrastructure, art, and education all around you that you don't know of

Are you even in EU my friend? I was unable to sell into germany becauee of some local BS. Every country has their own taxes, localization and regulations, there is no single market! EU has several currencies! EU does not protect from foreign traders, it pushes contaminated chicken from outside EU that contains salmonela!

Public infrastructure, education and art is responsibility of national goverment, EU sponsors maybe 2% of that!

> just as anything I do in regard to compliance or data protection is of course billed working time

Here is the core problem! You are not eshop owner! You are consultant who directly benefits from more regulations!!!

Of course you will push for more regulations and more "social responsibility"!

Luckily normal people can replace consultants with AI!
