That's been pretty common in Asia and elswwhere for a long time now. No excuse for the West to not replicate it.

No excuse but the entitlement of being adult toddlers. Or actual toddlers but they tend to be a bit more sensible. (Unfortunately, I'm partial to acting like a toddler now and again myself, so this comment is a little self deprecating – turns out it's really hard to try to solvee social problems as an individual when the rest of society lives like fuck-you-i-don't-care-if-i-cough-a-deadly-virus-into-your-face.)
