So you drank the Kool-aid?
You also think not using plastic straws will save the world too?

Two generations from now, they're gonna be sweating their butts off and making lists like this about you (and everyone else who's in denial.)

Exactly. Climate 'Emergency'.
Drive an electric car to save the environment; even though the carbon footprint is SIX times greater than that of a non-electric vehicle.

#13 The first Japanese cars imported to the US were built with thin/cr#ppy/recycled steel bodies that rusted very quickly.

Iva, I've never seen a redneck in Congress, the Senate, nor the Whithouse. I've seen plenty of stupid liberals though that never followed through.

Iva,
straight from Wikipedia. So technically the US is metric people just can't be bothered to switch.
Metrication (or metrification) is the process of introducing the International System of Units, also known as SI units or the metric system, to replace a jurisdiction's traditional measuring units. U.S. customary units have been defined in terms of metric units since the 19th century, and the SI has been the "preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce" since 1975 according to United States law.[1] However, conversion was not mandatory and many industries chose not to convert, and U.S. customary units remain in common use in many industries as well as in governmental use (for example, speed limits are still posted in miles per hour). Unlike other countries, there is no governmental or major social desire to implement further metrication.[2][3]
Although customary units are used more often than metric units in the U.S., the SI system is used extensively in some fields such as science, medicine, electronics, the military, automobile production and repair, and international affairs. Post-1994 federal law also mandates most packaged consumer goods be labeled in both customary and metric units.[4]

The imperial/standard system is based on the kilogram. It's quite funny actually. Maybe one day. ;)
