States aren't countries. The US isn't a continent. If you go to a different state within a European country, it won't have a different plug either.
You should travel, see the world, open your mind. You'd find that traveling the EU is just like traveling the US, no borders, no checks, even my cell plan moves, all the same. It's even called the European "Union", you know, like how the States are a Union (pst, it's in the name, the UNITED states). So yeah, it would be the correct comparison.
You mean like in Italy, that is even shown in the picture to the comment your replying to?
You're being awfully condescending for someone making such an incredibly weak defence. By your logic if the EU had stricter borders, the criticism of plug sockets would no longer be valid.
I've traveled to Italy many times, vacationing. I live in a country where schuko is dominant and I've never had to use an adapter. These are all old legacy plugs, I bet you can still buy them to replace existing plugs, I don't know, but I've stayed in hotels and rented rooms (staying with people basically) and I haven't even put any thought into it.
