Imagine if every house in the US has different types of outlet shapes and sizes and voltages instead of our standard 120v, 15A 20A 3 prong outlets.

(Minus specialized sockets like 240v, 30A, etc.)

It would be ridiculous to have adapters and specialized plugs for everything for such a basic purpose.

Electricity in the US is such a mess though, it's so easy to reach the limit of a 120V/15A circuit.
