    I’m genuinely surprised by these comments. Letting a child go out on their own is pure insanity.

    Edit: I’m surrounded by survivorship-biased idiots.

        Ironic that you would use a country that forces every employee to work late and then go out drinking with their boss every night as an example of a country that isn’t insane. A country where managers will harass you and then call your next employer in an attempt to slander you, should you ever dare to move on to a better job. A county with one of the highest suicide rates in the world.

        Yeah, totally not insane. Give me a fucking break.

          How did we move from talking about allowing kids to walk alone in the street and public transports, to you talking about workers rights ? Especially since on this topic, the US is also very bad in regards to workers rights.

        Half of Europe is also looking at the political shit show going down in America and thinking, “that sounds like a good idea”.

          Aye, we also have plenty of stupid assholes. But so far we mostly only import the superficial stuff like huge pickups that don’t fit anywhere. Most people have no idea what life in America is actually like and American daily life is thankfully far removed. Like in the example of the subject at hand. Kids walking and taking public transit to school is a common widespread practice anywhere I went and lived, nobody ever would consider someone NOT DRIVING a strange sight that needs investigating.
