Yes, but<p>&gt; This is mostly because of the legal system [..]. [T]he idea would never even occur to most people here.<p>As far as I understand it, your argument was that the US regulates hairdressers because of its legal system. Germany also regulates hairdressers but doesn&#x27;t have the US&#x27;s legal system (in fact, it&#x27;s closer to Sweden&#x27;s with regard to suing over common sense). So as far as I can tell, Germany invalidates your assessment.
