It was never said that it was a phenomenon on the whole country.

It is a US phenomenom yes. When it exists in other countries it's because of Hollywood exporting american culture.

I'm trying to think back to the last time I saw a shopping cart in a movie. I think it was probably Terms of Endearment, but I don't think that the cart made it outside.

Is that really your position? to you ascribe all bad behavior globally to US cultural exports?

Just seems wild to blame USA for exporting cart culture? What's the mechanism with Hollywood? I missed the marvel extended shopping cart universe.

Where did the USA import cart culture from? Mexico?

It seems likely to me that many countries are capable of domestically manufacturing selfish assholes.
