First of all, let's try to avoid American-bashing, and stay respectful to everyone.

I'll start: for me it's the tipping culture. Especially nowadays, with the recent post on !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world with the 40% tip, it just seems so weird to me to have to pay extra just so that menu prices can stay low.

The study was talking about 300 000 children being married. That's not a few.

And 1321 of them were 14 and younger.

That's 300k and 1321 respectively too many.

And apparently, at least for some republicans, this is a policy worth fighting for: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/mike-moon-gop-missouri-lawmaker-defends-childs-right-to-marry-2023-4%3famp

    Though I agree its too many, (even one is too many) my problem is saying its common. Saying that 1,321 over an 18 year period in a country of over 330 million people is a common occurrence doesn't sound common at all to me.
