Interesting. Yes, I gather the work ethic is very different. But (again, possibly naively) I would assume that if one wanted to do as I have done (make a small, “ok for an income” lifestyle business) then one could do so. Maybe that isn’t the case.

I'm not saying this want work, I don't really know. My comment was more about your plan showing this European mindset often not present (or talked about) in the NA.
