yes and also I don't think people, at least in Washington, were as warm

[00:00:00]Do I think it's about the latigiousness of people in the US as far as not being hospitable towards children? I think it's a combination of things. I think there is a lot of two-part answer. One, yes, I do think it has something to do with the latigiousness. I do think people are trigger happy. I do think having worked in some customer service roles, there's a lot of training. I worked at Starbucks. Well, I don't know if I can. Speaking of legitiousness, I may not want to answer where I've worked, but all that to say, I've worked at several customer service roles, and there's some training that's just sort of like stay behind the counter, interact to the point where the customer is happy, go above and to an extent, but keep it relatively within the confines of like your job description because you've got capitalism to maintain.

[00:00:51]That's your number one goal is the profit margin. you need to be able to report X Y and Z dollar value at the end of the day and that's your primary goal that's your function as well as you know I think a lot of people do get sued over stupid stuff people are religious but I do think socially speaking people are a lot less friendly and a lot less welcoming towards strangers and what I mean by that is I have seen other people touch our children now I know that sounds anybody who's in the United States watching this is going to be like say what? It was not weird. I know it was a little initially I was like what do you mean? Like how dare you? But like they it was not weird. The kids weren't weirded out by it. It was totally relatively normal.

[00:01:41]Like the my kid needed a hand. That person provided a hand. That kind of thing just didn't happen in the United States. I believe strangers would hold a crying baby here.

[00:01:53]I haven't seen it happen, but I could see it happening. I would never see that in Washington state. I love my state. I love Washington. It's a very progressive state. Like woohoo, whatever, go leftist, but like it is just not in our culture. We're like pretty keep to oursel type society. And I think that's a big part of it. Whereas here it's just like people smile at each other. People say hello. People are a lot like warmer I guess in a lot from the air. Maybe that happens in parts of the country.

[00:02:24]I've heard people are fairly friendly in like certain communities in Texas and other places, but where I'm from in Washington, not a chance. Unless you know them, which the great I'm not saying people are rude, inherently hateful, but like it's just not the same. So anyway, that's that's what were my thoughts.
