"I can say that no third world country makes it as hard to be self-employed as we do in the US. Indeed no developed nation does either....."
You are flat-out wrong there, my friend. Someone else pointed out how hard it is in Uruguay. Indonesia and Malaysia are not the whole of all 3rd world countries -- so your travels don't support your statement of "no third world country".
I can point out how hard it is all across Europe.
Being self-employed in the US is extremely easy.
Meanwhile most of those other first-world nations still offer their self-employed people healthcare and other safety net benefits.
- einhverfr 15y agoI am sure that's why so many people are self-employed in most of these countries. Also despite the issues in Europe, I understand that in many EU countries (including both France and Germany), there is a higher success rate of self-employment than here in the US.
- ahoyhere 15y agoI can't tell, are you being snarky? I never said it discouraged anything or that people failed. It is simply 10x the complexity, hoops to jump through, legal paperwork, and tax rigamarole.
