    Exactly! There’s no need for competition, but they (blanket statement) always made it about “oh it’s like that here, but in the USA…”.

        That’s right, it can even be interesting to make comparisons and hear people’s viewpoints. Unfortunately it was very often from an attitude of not knowing why we wouldn’t do it like the USA does it, cuz that works so well. Those conversations get tiring after a while.
