The problem of such associations is that they should spend a lot of time
writing reports on their activities for the government. I don't like this

now, so taxes are very low. And no one can sue us for our activities :)

We should think about that, but let's do it after starting our activities.
As for now we didn't do anything to get money, we are just talking :(
