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.

Pretty sure we judged the heck out of Juicero, Theranos, and WeWork on this very website.

		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.

I don't know, I think it does, US social media is rather shameless, there's certainly no national social credit score or anything
