Mass shootings. People in other countries ask about this all the time. They really don’t understand.

Homelessness

Why bathroom stalls are not ceiling to floor in America (tight construction budgets)?

Land availability

Now that you mention it, in my substantial travels to Europe for business, I have never seen anyone in a wheelchair out and about.

Come to think of it, one restroom stall I went to in Paris inside a prestigious business whose name you would instantly recognize had walls so narrow that I had to turn myself about 30 degrees sideways to get close enough to take a leak. For reference, I'm about 5' 10" with a 44" chest, 34 inch waist at the time, so I'm not some morbidly obese dude or a muscle-bound freak. No handicapped person would have had a chance in hades of using that restroom.

Rural dominance of U.S. geography and history and gun “original thought” in that context is what I think they do not appreciate.

Curious if that is what you think they don’t understand.

That's an English thing, not a European thing.
