I don't know anyone who works 5 days a week... Sure wages aren't as high as in the States but folks live comfortably enough (evidenced by the fact you can find Dutch tourists from Cambodja to Canada).
I know it's not all unicorn farts and sprinkles. You still have right-wing civilization shredders in your political system. You have a boatload of bureaucracy, and it appears to be more difficult for a small business organically to a medium-sized business.
