Colleagues. I don’t feel like having to publish 20 disclaimers here to clarify exactly what I mean. People who want to understand my message will understand them. You should not look for too many “double-bottoms” or “hidden messages” in them. Do you have a problem with the “superficiality” of my post… so be it.

    I think it is fundamentally good to use this opportunity as a chance to break up existing monopolies (especially with regard to software products). Trump merely provides a motivation for this - with his impossible behavior, he has created some awareness for this long-standing problem.

    But yes, since the problem stems in fact from multinational corporations, the country in which these corporations have their headquarters does not necessarily play the decisive role - it should rather be about no longer buying products from these unscrupulous corporations.
