I have never had problem working (and seeing other people work) 6-7 days a week in reality in Europe (even if it was unofficial).

But capital structures and politicians are still too close to old European companies from the second world war and don't allow venture capital to florish.

It's easier to earn money by winning a fake EU tender and giving back half of the money to a politician than doing something innovative.

Nobody would stop him from working 6-7 days a week. Only for forcing his employees to do this involuntarily for him.

Kinda tells you all you need to know about US startup culture.

Pretty sure the US doesn’t allow involuntary servitude.

The Thirteenth Amendment makes it clear that it is permitted only by exception.

There are no work police in Europe who go round every workplace to make you log your hours working and arrest you if it's over 40.
