They are correct though. In the US, it doesn't matter where you go, every state uses the same plug.

In Europe, different countries use different plugs, even though they are all in Europe.

Ireland plug: Ireland

France plug:

Switzerland plug:

Italian plugs:

Can't your union standardize this? Like, this feels like exactly what the EU is for, facilitating unified standards to increase trade and improve quality of life across Europe.

Oh, and please don't copy us north Americans. Yeah the US, Canada, and Mexico (and japan for some insane reason though you still need an adapter because of the frequency if you're in the half where it's different) share an outlet type. But seriously, our polarized grounded plugs are fine enough but we have a lot of type A and yall can do better than that.

Only a sith deals in reposts

That aside, isn't the US the country were, supposedly, people will go into financial insecurity and ruin if an emergency of 500 USD or less happens to them?

Where, according to collectivists worldwide, the average person doesn't even have savings to cover said 500 USD emergency?

How the hell then are you expecting the average us citizen to know and understand the realities others live by in other countries? Specially adapters? The thing that is sold so much in airports because even frequent travelers forget about it?

It will be probably strange for them to grasp why people have to adapt anything to a specific socket as the reason why they vary is not obvious at first glance, but that's not something to mock or make fun about?

Like, haha you don't have the privilege to be well travelled, what a poor dumbass?
