    Lots of really hot climates, lots of cars, 3rd largest population in the world, and a very active news media.

    If India or Africa could afford cars you be hearing about it a lot there too.

      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.

        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.
