    I literally live in a country that’s hotter than the US and this rarely if ever happens. I’m not sure it’s just media bias.

      The US is entirely built around car culture. Chances are you don’t get in a car for everywhere you go. In the US getting in a car to go virtually anywhere is unavoidable. This is a tiny percentage we just have so many more car trips per day than most countries.

      Edit: fixing counties to countries cause autocorrect.

      So many possible factors. Family support allowing more sleep, less car-centric cities, less tradition of single parent transporting the kid around while on errands, etc etc.
