 I’m visiting my family in Barcelona and saw these imposed bottle caps for the first time. Nobody complains, they just accept it. 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄 
 Nobody asked them if they wanted it, or how they feel about it either. It is learned helplessness. We in Europastan just accept what our kings and nobles tell us to. 
 Yep, that’s what’s so sad. They probably don’t think much of it, such a small thing. But I see it as a “frog in the hot water” kind of thing, if you know what I mean. So insidious!
