      I assume it runs deeper, but that doesn’t feel all that foreign compared to the US, does it?

         There's nothing like that in the US, not by any measure.

         The whole reason you have entrepreneurs in the US is because people DON'T judge for you failing. You can always start again.

               Not simply for failing though. Obviously there were other factors.

               Right, but Elizabeth Holmes already has investors lined up for her next attempt to revolutionize medical testing.

               Fraud is generally considered shameful, not being an entrepreneur
