So tell me, how do you employ someone who is in Germany if you are based in the US? Germany wants its taxes so you can't just put them as a regular US employee and you don't have any presence in Germany so you can't hire them locally.

Even hiring within the US remote workers can cause issues with the "tax nexus" as a remote worker acts as a physical presence in that state, forcing the company to pay taxes as if they did business in that state.
