Child pageants are a form of child abuse in my eyes. Children shouldn't be forced to perform for the entertainment of adults. Furthermore, many of these children are forced to wear clothes and make-up that imitate adults, and I don't think I have to spell out why that can be dangerous, given how many creeps there are in the world.
Not to mention how it messes up those Little Girls, sending them the message that looks are all that matters. I see nothing wrong with letting your little girl play dress up. But clip on teeth and dressing them up like Women doesn't seem right to me. I know of one former Child Beauty Padgent Contestant who's Mum had definitely screwed up her life. Her Mum was still pushing her into Beauty Padgents as a Teenager. She definitely was teaching her to value looks over anything else to an extreme level. Her Mum was doing her daughter's Homework, meanwhile that poor girl could barely spell her own name. They were on a TV Show once.
@@larissahorne9991 Yes, it's all around unhealthy. Let children be children. Forcing children to focus on superficial things like looks, clothing and make-up will do nothing but create more unhealthy and shallow adults.
I was so appalled the first time I watched a pageant show I couldn't finish watching, it was absolutely disgusting and I feel sorry för all those kids exploited by their parents and the entertainment business!
I noticed while visiting America, a lot of foods were a considerably sweeter than in UK and Europe.... too sweet for my taste. One famous brand of milk chocolate in UK was bought over by an American company ... the sugar content must have been increased.. it was so sweet. Enjoyed your video. 👍from N. IRELAND
The one thing I'm always confused about from America is ownership, and the EXTREME LENGTHS you're allowed to go to protect your ownership. I love nature, but I would NEVER want to explore nature in America. Just the idea that I could accidently step on land that someone owns, and that they then have the right to kill me just scares me so much that I just rather avoid America altogether. Now I know that the idea might be extremely exaggerated in my head thanks to media, but just the idea that it can be legal for one citizen to kill another citizen is just beyond me.
In some extreme cases, that's true, but that's a rare and is usually in a area out in the country, but in city limits the most you would get is a restraining order & that's if you are snooping around & causing property damage, not if you accidentally step on someone's land. Yeah the fake news lies about everything!!!🙄
I know right! Sometimes I just want to explore the nature around me. Go off the path, or find my own path. I am still afraid of accidentally coming across someone's house/land, but most likely they will understand it was an honest mistake. If they even bothered to care in the first place. And if they do care, they will just tell me to leave. And I would apologize and leave, not at all afraid if the person has a gun ready and loaded... But I would never dare to explore anywhere in America! I would not be surprised if the media makes it seem worse than the average experience is, but it still scares me lol
@@kunilsen2519 Well, there's a lot of times when I was living at home with my parents, the neighbor's kids would cut through our backyard on their way home from school and we didn't care in the least, and nor would most anybody else in the neighborhood.🙂
Hi there! To respond to the Homeowners associations creation, please don't blame the french for what the americans made of it over the centuries. It was never put in our Civil Code by Napoleon. The Civil Code was created to give all the people the same rights after our revolution. Homeowners associations were allowed to prevent any harm to the environment and water by putting the money in common if any work was necessary to protect the forests, lands etc in residential areas. It was never about what kind of fence you can use. Americans Homeowners associations twisted what we established to basically keep away any "non white" people from the neighborhood back in late 19th century. Very different application. And sad. Really.
In a famous legal case in the Republic of Ireland, bread from Subway sandwiches was considered to have so much sugar it no longer counted as bread but instead was legally cake.

Dutch perspective (the Netherlands): 1. I remember when commercials were only between two programs (damn, feeling old 😅). In the Netherlands we have them during programs a lot, but still not as much as in the USA. How I know? When watching an American made tv serie, there are these regular blackouts during the show, that is when in the USA there would be a commercial. And yes, we only have medical commercials for things like ibuprofen. 2. HOA, we have something a bit similar, but mostly only for appartement buildings. For maintaining and cleaning the shared spaces. Not for whole neighborhoods. And not with ridiculous rules. 3. I really don’t understand the USA people accept that. But that is the same with other topics like healthcare, etc. 4. Yes, we sometimes look at the USA as you look at Florida. 😂 5. So glad we do not have that here. And why is this practice? Just because then items look cheaper than they really are. 6. We tip in the Netherlands, it is just not mandatory or frowned upon if you don’t. Me personally, I usually round up the bill to a convenient number, like paying 50 euros if the bill is 47. Or more, if in a larger group. This also means that the waiters are not pressing you to eat and leave. We usually don’t go out to eat every week, for us it is a treat. So it is an all evening thing, like start at seven, leave at eleven. Taking our time. 7. Child beauty pageants. 🤢 8. My parents went to the USA some years ago and yes, they noticed the portion sizes. 😂 9. Seems your bread is considered cake in Europe because of the sugar level… 10. I would be mortified to use those toilets.😮 11. In the Netherlands you can legally own a gun or rifle. It is just very highly regulated. Most for hunting, sometimes for sport. Extensive background checks, training, etc. Strict rules about what firearms are allowed, how to store them and ammunition. It is not in our culture and not many shootings ( if there are it is between criminals) so not many people feel the need to own one.
😂there IS a close relationship between you in the Netherlands and us in Germany. I agree with nearly everything you said, but there is one point I had to smile, it is the bread thing😂 Come on, your bread is cake as well.😘
We do have gun laws in the states, the strictness of it does vary from state to state, but background checks, gun safety classes, we have all that, but none of that keeps criminals from having guns.
In Canada fast foods are not allowed to supersize and have to list calories on on food in fast food restaurants. And beauty pageants are like a pedophile grocery store if you ask me....glad we don't have them. And one thing I did notice when I was in the states was food additives and large portion size.
yeah, about that... had a 1 night stay in Toronto on a flight to the carribbean, and your food sizes are already +50% of ours in germany. it felt like it at least.
@@Apokalypse456 yes, I was talking about the supersize option....they are not allowed to do that in Canada. And if you think ours are big, stop into a KFC in USA....their portions are crazy big.
@@gerryhatrick6678 I did a road trip in the states just before Covid, and we went to Jack in the box. I wanted to try eating there because I am also from Canada and it’s not a fast food chains that exists up here. I asked for a small Coke, because I was told that the drink sizes were really large down there. A small Coke was the litre. No joke. And they wonder why people are so fat down there.😂
Beauty pageants are something that always puzzled me! Why would a mother put her child there where some weird people could look at your precious kid...
Not gonna lie, the toilet gaps really shocked me, here in France there usually are no gaps at all, its like a normal little room you enter, when there are cubicles, there are no gaps 😭 I don't know if I would feel comfortable enough even just to pee if the gaps were so big
in America we need room to swing it around - if we're too close together we'll be getting hit w/ giant hogs every time we need to let loose..... but I understand why French men dont need that space
In terms of weight it’s not that bigger people don’t exist here, it’s more that there’s more bigger people in the US and it wasn’t till I visited the US that I realised how big a person could be - I was genuinely shocked. The two main differences are the food additives and portions - as you’ve heard from lots of American expats they lose weight in Europe even if not eating less or still eating junk food, and the second factor is walking. There’s much more of a walking culture here. But of course there’s plenty of Americans that are much slimmer too, and plenty that are health conscious like yourselves. But it’s human nature for the differences to stand out to us
Yeah, even the overweight people don't look quite that overweight, because they usually don't have the same kind of breasts as it is automatically the case with American's who take in a lot of hormones with their food.
Additives in american food makes huge diference, because Americans puts oil and tons of sugar in literaly all food. Thats why in America just head of salad has like grams of fat, because its put in oil.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT been to America a few times now and always had a great experience. People are so friendly and positive. But I definitely prefer our healthcare system 😆
@@clairescott2426 Thank you for at least not shitting on our country, we are being bombarded from every angle with all kinds of shit & it doesn't help when we get criticism for it from other countries, but like I said, thank you!😊♥️
here in europe Netherlands we pay home owners association fees if we have a bought house but its a smaller amount. We have 5 weeks of vacation on average, spread out over the year. Our taxes are included in the price.
About the food. When I use american recipes of the internet, I automatically half the sugar (in cakes and such), cause otherwise it`S just way too sweet.
The only type of food I Love to eat a large potion of is a nice big Garden Salad 🥗 with my dinner. That's something I fell in love with watching American TV Shows, having a Side Salad with dinner. Even as a Little Girl I have always Loved Salad 🥗, Fruit and drinking Water 💦. Although I'll freely admit to liking Junk Food as much as the next person. At least ours is a bit healthier in Australia than it is in The US. With fewer Chemical Additives, a Lower Sugar content with a tendency towards Natural Flavours and Colours. Our Fast Food is usually of a higher quality too. I invented by own Salad recipe. It's a mixture of Salad Leaves, Coriander (Cilantro), Grated Carrot 🥕, Sliced Green Beans, Cucumber 🥒, Celery, Shallots (Spring Onions), halved Cherry Tomatoes 🍅 (Ideally half red and half yellow), Green Pitted Olives, dressed with Fresh Lime Juice and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I had some tonight and Loved it
4:26 Yeah, fuck all that HOA shit, I never understood that part. If I own a house and yard, I'm going to do whatever the fuck I want with it as long is not a danger to society. Paint my house candy pinks and a 2 meter fence in blue and purple stripes, no one can stop me if I want to.
@@thomaslowdon5510 Yeah, I saw a post about a guy's neighbour calling the HOA about the boat parked in his yard. The fucking shit towed it away. Reason: it didn't loog good. ????! Fuck that. I could not stand it, the neighbour would get a beating immediately.
The double speed disclaimers we have in Europe also, mostly with commercials for financial products, but they are a bit shorter for sure. Shouldn't your tax money take care of the neighbourhood, in the Netherlands we pay National taxes, but also a tax for the city you live in, based on the value of your property.
in Canada - hourly paid workers are legally required to have a minimum of 2 weeks paid vacation leave - this amounts to 4% of your annual wage - some busineses here offer longer vacation time off depending on years of service - i am not sure how (beyond mandatory paid vacations + plus statutory holidays per year) the payment structure works for time off beyond 2 weeks.
So they cant afford to feed their families or pay bills but they get 2 weeks or hourly wages to sit home & stare at each other b/c they cant afford to go anywhere...... nice
@@jackzeldon2883 well i raised 2 children on jobs that paid me less than $10 per hour full time wages when minimum wage was under the current levels. in fact my first full time job in 1974 paid me $3 while minimum wage as $2.50 per hour - when i retired from the workforce in 2019 i was earning minimum wage of $14 per hour - and two people living on that wage is possible since that works out to a combined income of arpimd $56,000 per year - sure not a great amoount in today's economy but still livable - and i have been living alone since the year 2000 when minimum wage was $7.15 per hour for general labour jobs.
Me as an European wanna apologize for the feelings you've had at 12:56. I can imagine that some comments came from ppl from northern Europe ☺️ We are pretty direct, in comparison to US culture, but (well meant) honest 🤷❤️
12:07 Totally against it, besides the very good points you've made, it is else extremely unhealthy. All those chemicals on kids sensitive skin is bound to give skin problems and and growing problems.
minimum wage in Ontario Canada for waiters/waitresses is $12 per hour - so, yes, tips here are an important source of income in the service industry in Ontario. wage for service staff in Ontario ranges from $12 to $25 per hour.
Yes and no. Regulation and rules are expected in apartment complexes when renting. HOA has regulations and rules for home owners within their neighborhood.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT I'm from London and I'm a home owner of an apartment. We all pay a service charge for the development to cover the cost of gardening, security, maintenance, energy etc etc
American HOAs will often have rules about what color you can paint your house, what kind of plants you can have in the yard, etc. And those rules are often extreme.
We love you guys. But you looks like the country of extremes. It can be scary sometimes. When you need to eat, you can eat a full room. But you can also being shot at the street..it’s weird. Big populated countries problems I guess. China, Russia, Nigeria, India, Brazil have theirs too😂😂. It ‘s an emotional roller coaster.
HOA isn’t a thing however in some EU countries you pay a “condominium fee” in apartments which is a double-edged sword. You pay it so the condominium can outsource cleaning and repairing HOWEVER the price can be often unfair. In our case we got the worst possible since the person responsible doesn’t live in the complex so we’ll have an elevator out of order in an 8 story apartment for days at a time, have the shittiest company fix it just to have it break down in a months time. Welp, I guess it makes up for the fact we don’t have to clean the complex ourselves since I can’t imagine cleaning this beast alone.
Lol, yeah, I can't deal with the commercials in the US. It actually makes me slightly angry because I think I'm being talked down too and almost forced to buy. I don't enjoy that bombardment. having said that, I enjoy the 'trashy' day-time TV, lol.
Drug ads in NZ, too. (the only other country in the world to allow it) But only for over the counter stuff like paracetamol and such. Relatively well regulated, but there are rumours flying around about the possibility of it coming to an end.
That's what we have in France too. But they're becomin very rare because the ANSM (the National Agency for Meds Safety) takes the verification of each ad very seriously and the list of conditions to be able to broadcast any med ad is a complete nightmare for the labs. No prescription meds is rule number 1. I think we mostly see them in the winter, like lozenges if your throat hurts, or nasal spray... we also have homeopathic meds to help you sleep or if your baby's teething.
Well, commercials are not solely an American problem. I don't know how much an average advertising block would last within the movie or between two movies but we in Poland are already annoyed by 20-minute long commercial breaks within a movie on our TV channels and by the fact that EVERY TV channel has advertising blocks in the same time so you can't really just change the channel to watch something else. And of course laxatives commercials ALWAYS when you have lunch 🙃
20 minute commercial breaks? Damn, you Poles went full capitalism after communism fell 😁 In Finland we have like 5 minute commercial breaks. During daytime probably even less.
We have 'burger buns' and 'hot-dog rolls' in UK; they are horribly sweet to me and I would rather have an ordinary roll. As for public toilets, a month in China would cure you of shyness, where there are no cubicles, let alone doors.
I just had to come back with a new comment about an announcement I came across today. If you're in the mood for a Choccie (Chocolate 🍫) Bar and like Snickers Bars you'll soon be able to buy one of our High Quality ones easily. China is very upset at the moment they've lost their contract to make them, it's been given to New Zealand instead. They make the ones we buy I our Aussie Supermarkets and they'll soon bee available in the American Grocery Stores. I know you guys try to eat reasonably healthy diets, but if you want something sweet and like Snickers there you go.
Hang on a minute there. So I dine out, pay full price for a meal and then I have to subsidise the servers wages who is get as little as $2.13 per hour?????? That’s criminal.

@@clairescott2426 Thank you for at least not shitting on our country, we are being bombarded from every angle with all kinds of shit & it doesn't help when we get criticism for it from other countries, but like I said, thank you!😊♥️
@@clairescott2426 you won't prefer it when you grow older & have a serious illness
here in europe Netherlands we pay home owners association fees if we have a bought house but its a smaller amount. We have 5 weeks of vacation on average, spread out over the year. Our taxes are included in the price.
About the food. When I use american recipes of the internet, I automatically half the sugar (in cakes and such), cause otherwise it`S just way too sweet.
In Denmark we have home owner associations in many places, either resident association or landowner association.
Depending on the properties, we have maintenance service and community garden maintenance charges. Even if you just rent the property. X
The only type of food I Love to eat a large potion of is a nice big Garden Salad 🥗 with my dinner. That's something I fell in love with watching American TV Shows, having a Side Salad with dinner. Even as a Little Girl I have always Loved Salad 🥗, Fruit and drinking Water 💦. Although I'll freely admit to liking Junk Food as much as the next person. At least ours is a bit healthier in Australia than it is in The US. With fewer Chemical Additives, a Lower Sugar content with a tendency towards Natural Flavours and Colours. Our Fast Food is usually of a higher quality too.
I invented by own Salad recipe. It's a mixture of Salad Leaves, Coriander (Cilantro), Grated Carrot 🥕, Sliced Green Beans, Cucumber 🥒, Celery, Shallots (Spring Onions), halved Cherry Tomatoes 🍅 (Ideally half red and half yellow), Green Pitted Olives, dressed with Fresh Lime Juice and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I had some tonight and Loved it
When you reacted to the raggedy men, i lost it🤣You are a cute couple🤩
4:26 Yeah, fuck all that HOA shit, I never understood that part. If I own a house and yard, I'm going to do whatever the fuck I want with it as long is not a danger to society. Paint my house candy pinks and a 2 meter fence in blue and purple stripes, no one can stop me if I want to.
HOA in usa will and can control you. Heavy legal law suits are brought against you...its very frustrating...even hanging laundry out to dry is a NO
@@thomaslowdon5510 Yeah, I saw a post about a guy's neighbour calling the HOA about the boat parked in his yard. The fucking shit towed it away. Reason: it didn't loog good. ????!
Fuck that.
I could not stand it, the neighbour would get a beating immediately.
The double speed disclaimers we have in Europe also, mostly with commercials for financial products, but they are a bit shorter for sure. Shouldn't your tax money take care of the neighbourhood, in the Netherlands we pay National taxes, but also a tax for the city you live in, based on the value of your property.
I don't think i have ever seen those double speed disclaimers in my country at least.
Have you watched Al Murray "Americans"?
I think you would love it, a british comedian having some fun with USA vs UK 🙂
in Canada - hourly paid workers are legally required to have a minimum of 2 weeks paid vacation leave - this amounts to 4% of your annual wage - some busineses here offer longer vacation time off depending on years of service - i am not sure how (beyond mandatory paid vacations + plus statutory holidays per year) the payment structure works for time off beyond 2 weeks.
So they cant afford to feed their families or pay bills but they get 2 weeks or hourly wages to sit home & stare at each other b/c they cant afford to go anywhere...... nice
@@jackzeldon2883 well i raised 2 children on jobs that paid me less than $10 per hour full time wages when minimum wage was under the current levels. in fact my first full time job in 1974 paid me $3 while minimum wage as $2.50 per hour - when i retired from the workforce in 2019 i was earning minimum wage of $14 per hour - and two people living on that wage is possible since that works out to a combined income of arpimd $56,000 per year - sure not a great amoount in today's economy but still livable - and i have been living alone since the year 2000 when minimum wage was $7.15 per hour for general labour jobs.
Me as an European wanna apologize for the feelings you've had at 12:56. I can imagine that some comments came from ppl from northern Europe ☺️ We are pretty direct, in comparison to US culture, but (well meant) honest 🤷❤️
There is a story of an American who worked for an American company in Europe when he moved back to America he lost 20 days of holiday
but he gained 50,000 quid in salary
This is creepy - come on America. Keep the organizers in jail. (Finn-Denmark)
12:07 Totally against it, besides the very good points you've made, it is else extremely unhealthy. All those chemicals on kids sensitive skin is bound to give skin problems and and growing problems.
Great reaction again 👍🏻 greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
Guys you see the good to married your soul mate I don’t know if you see what amazing thing make me to love this couple
U guys r ace 😎 Keep up the good work!! 🤗😆
♥️ from 🏴
Much love!
Why 🇺🇸 America do your public toilets have HUGE spaces at the lower part of the toilet 🚻 doors 🚪 and the sides of those doors , why ???
Great couple
17:05 Love the feat. from the younger generation getting interested as well. 😄
It's a Florida Man and you wonder why he has a half shaven beard? lol
You know it's not going to turn out well when someone says "I'm from Florida, watch this.
minimum wage in Ontario Canada for waiters/waitresses is $12 per hour - so, yes, tips here are an important source of income in the service industry in Ontario. wage for service staff in Ontario ranges from $12 to $25 per hour.
do the janitors get tips, too?
Florida man? Tipical drunk Slav xD
I assume a home ownership association is kinda like a service charge that you commonly get with apartment developments?
Yes and no. Regulation and rules are expected in apartment complexes when renting. HOA has regulations and rules for home owners within their neighborhood.
@@TheDemouchetsREACT I'm from London and I'm a home owner of an apartment. We all pay a service charge for the development to cover the cost of gardening, security, maintenance, energy etc etc
American HOAs will often have rules about what color you can paint your house, what kind of plants you can have in the yard, etc. And those rules are often extreme.
We love you guys.
But you looks like the country of extremes. It can be scary sometimes.
When you need to eat, you can eat a full room. But you can also being shot at the street..it’s weird.
Big populated countries problems I guess. China, Russia, Nigeria, India, Brazil have theirs too😂😂.
It ‘s an emotional roller coaster.
American here, big countries are complicated!
Your are a nice pair. ♥ Greetings from Germany. Like your vids. =D
Did I do the math right and the UK Starbucks contains 14.8 teaspoons of sugar and the US one is about 17 teaspoons of sugar?
HOA isn’t a thing however in some EU countries you pay a “condominium fee” in apartments which is a double-edged sword. You pay it so the condominium can outsource cleaning and repairing HOWEVER the price can be often unfair. In our case we got the worst possible since the person responsible doesn’t live in the complex so we’ll have an elevator out of order in an 8 story apartment for days at a time, have the shittiest company fix it just to have it break down in a months time. Welp, I guess it makes up for the fact we don’t have to clean the complex ourselves since I can’t imagine cleaning this beast alone.
Lol, yeah, I can't deal with the commercials in the US. It actually makes me slightly angry because I think I'm being talked down too and almost forced to buy. I don't enjoy that bombardment. having said that, I enjoy the 'trashy' day-time TV, lol.
Drug ads in NZ, too. (the only other country in the world to allow it) But only for over the counter stuff like paracetamol and such. Relatively well regulated, but there are rumours flying around about the possibility of it coming to an end.
We have cold medicine ads and vitamin ads here too in Australia. Nothing prescribed though.
That's what we have in France too. But they're becomin very rare because the ANSM (the National Agency for Meds Safety) takes the verification of each ad very seriously and the list of conditions to be able to broadcast any med ad is a complete nightmare for the labs. No prescription meds is rule number 1.
I think we mostly see them in the winter, like lozenges if your throat hurts, or nasal spray... we also have homeopathic meds to help you sleep or if your baby's teething.
I'm surprised they didn't mention healthcare.
Well, commercials are not solely an American problem. I don't know how much an average advertising block would last within the movie or between two movies but we in Poland are already annoyed by 20-minute long commercial breaks within a movie on our TV channels and by the fact that EVERY TV channel has advertising blocks in the same time so you can't really just change the channel to watch something else. And of course laxatives commercials ALWAYS when you have lunch 🙃
20 minutes long!!! That's insane 😱 I'm from the USA btw 😊
@@timothyreel716 perfect amount of time to get more chips, go to bathroom and fall asleep while waiting for the commercial to end XD
20 minute commercial breaks? Damn, you Poles went full capitalism after communism fell 😁 In Finland we have like 5 minute commercial breaks. During daytime probably even less.
We have 'burger buns' and 'hot-dog rolls' in UK; they are horribly sweet to me and I would rather have an ordinary roll. As for public toilets, a month in China would cure you of shyness, where there are no cubicles, let alone doors.
I just had to come back with a new comment about an announcement I came across today. If you're in the mood for a Choccie (Chocolate 🍫) Bar and like Snickers Bars you'll soon be able to buy one of our High Quality ones easily. China is very upset at the moment they've lost their contract to make them, it's been given to New Zealand instead. They make the ones we buy I our Aussie Supermarkets and they'll soon bee available in the American Grocery Stores. I know you guys try to eat reasonably healthy diets, but if you want something sweet and like Snickers there you go.
Thanks for letting us know, Larissa!
It's less that we can't understand it, It's that we don't want to understand it, because it's horrifying.
....did you watch the video or comment based on the title?
Tipping bugs me; it’s as if we’re paying for food, drink and the servers wages. Not me 🤷🏻♂️
Hang on a minute there. So I dine out, pay full price for a meal and then I have to subsidise the servers wages who is get as little as $2.13 per hour?????? That’s criminal.
You can choose to keep your tip.😊
for real, you cant even get a coffe in most of eu, for an hour of work in american resturant industry wtf :(
Wait, don't we travel to Florida because of the crazy people 🤔 it's like going to a zoo just without the cages 🤣 crazy people in their natural habitat 🤣 almost like going on safari in africa 🤣 sorry but that joke was just toooo easy not to do it 🤣
Hahaha, real funny, everyone is laughing!!🙄
React to adin ross changes best friends life
the person with the half shaved face i suspect probably has homonymous hemianopsia.
Your country isn’t that old especially when it comes to your city’s from the early 1900s to the late 50s your country was booming skyscrapers were popping up all around work was plentiful and machinery didn’t do most of the work for you. So you’re food was high in fat and carbs because it was needed. Where as now…. We’ll I’m sure I don’t have to explain… thanks for another video 👌🏻😉 p.s your little one is as cute as hell 😉
I’ve heaver seen a video about the good thing about America are there good thing you can be proud of. universities. TV film music Medicine science technology I’m struggling
We love our universities, football, festivals, film industry, etc. We've shared this in conversations of our videos to debunk a lot of misconceptions but there is so little "good videos about America" for us to react to. We'll have to do a deep dive to find some.
Other countries have those things too though… 😂
