> If the United States had universal healthcare and education wasn't brutally expensive then more people could justify being entrepreneurial Doesn't it strike you as odd then, that US is unique among first-world countries at (1) not having a safety net like universal healthcare and (2) being by far, almost the most entrepreneurial country in the world? (May be behind Israel and/or Singapore, but it's a whole other topic anyway). I mean, if your assumption was right, then European countries like France or Germany would be homes of Silicon Valley, but it's the other way around.
