      Don't forget we have a new map projection as well...

      This is classic whataboutism. Tethered caps and energy security aren't competing for the same budget or the same people. Nobody delayed a gas pipeline to write a cap regulation. You can think the caps are annoying (they are) and still see that they have nothing to do with a closed strait.

        Actually, some of the current designs are not annoying at all. Some are even nice in that you don't have to worry about where the cap is. I am looking forward to everyone adopting those eventually.

        The bottle caps have become a meme, but one that symbolises Europe strangling itself with overregulation.

          Clearly. They are meaningful though, unless you just want to make fun of things. No they don't solve world hunger.
