the longest street name in Germany is “Bischöflich-Geistlicher-Rat-Josef-Zinnbauer-Straße”, which I don’t think is that different from something like “St Martin-in-the-Fields Church Path” in the UK.
(I’m purposefully ignoring Wales, because they’re just fucking with us at this point)
The can keep their l’s and y’s, my issue is that I don’t trust their language after their longest town name was arbitrarily made so to reap in unsuspecting tourists
gGmbH = gemeinnützige Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung = limited liability company serving the public benefit

Is the first g the “for public benefit” part? Because isn’t GmbH an evil company?
Also, isn’t the norm that if you’re doing good, you don’t name the leader a CEO but a Director or something?

When I was a kid I always pictured a goomba when I saw GmbH.
Thats a good association.
And we’re on Lemmy, so any LLC is inherently evil. /s
If your goal is profit, then yes.
