Probably a bad idea. The big economies of the eurozone have been in constant stagnation for the last 15 years. To me it seems that Bulgaria has jumped on Titanic on Qweenstown. I do hope that I am wrong, but those are the same people that made the plastic caps permanently attached to the bottles.

It's still hilarious to me how upset people are at this (or at least pretend to be).

It is inconvenience for all, with at best minimal benefits, but it makes couple of bureaucrats and greens feel good about themselves. People are upset because it shows Brussels disfunction in a nutshell.

It's a huge convenience. I used to always misplace bottle caps and spend some time looking for them. Now I don't.

I don't get why people don't like it.
