Counterintuitive headline but the argument usually comes down to needing more risk appetite for startups. Denmark's safety net is so good nobody needs to bet big.

This is cringe AF though.
"Just to put it on a pin: Danes hate flashy cars with a passion that stretches back much further than the current green excuses. But buying a $300,000 Ferrari in Denmark is one of the most patriotic things you can possibly do! You'll end up paying almost three times the price for the privilege, and sending 2/3s of that to the treasury in taxes. Truly a contribution to the common cause worthy of admiration, not scorn! "

Why does startup equal good? Maybe it's better if someone creates something out of the motivation to create a thing or provide it and not out of a desire to "win big". Otherwise it's just more junk or services nobody wants...
