    Why the fuck am I seeing bottle caps getting compared to some billionaire’s vanity project everywhere?

      The direct connection escapes me, too.

      It would be more reasonable to compare a measure, that actually helps to reduce trash and co2 footprint with that flying car. Plus: there is no reason to stop it, just because there is one very rich, annoying guy.

      The effect of one toy project (look at me I build flying cars. Look at me!) isn’t that big. Like Kanemann said, people are poor intuitive statisticians.
