Ukrainian business has repeatedly tried to abandon 1 °C. Dozens of «Ukrainian alternatives», information campaigns, but it still remains the main accounting system at most Ukrainian enterprises.

What negatives monopolization of any sphere brings — it is unnecessary to explain, it is obvious even to people without a specialized economic education.
