Making it less risky to work on risky things is exactly why I think socialism is great for business. Australia is often called out for it's "lack of startup eco system", and lack of early stage capital for tech businesses, however it's a hotbed of micropreneurship and the primary reason is that no matter what, you've got a reasonable level of healthcare, your kids have a reasonable level of education and you have a reasonable level of housing. I started from (financially) virtually nothing. I mean ... let's be honest everyone says that and yes I had advantages others didn't have and my family was essentially middle class but financially speaking I was always essentially what you would call "poor" and raising 2 daughters whilst being this poor and not having a "real job" for the past decade would be much scarier in the US than it is in Australia. The benefit to the country is that ultimately, I have the chance to build something great which creates jobs and grows the economy (yeah ... I'll urr let you know when that's done!) but if I fail, it's no big deal really.
