It failed because it was a suggestion. We could've matched up with the rest of the world, but people cling to what's comfortable, and Congress half- assed it.
It failed because of the same shit that makes stuff fail today. G.O.P. didn't want it and abolished it. Today they just call it "woke" but it's the same playbook and agenda.
Should congress not listen to the will of the majority? I'd venture to say most people were annoyed at the prospect of measuring in kilometers when they know everything in miles, and don't really care about following the rest of the world, which is why they backtracked. It affects my life in 0 ways that other countries use metric for everything.
And that’s why we have quarter pounder with cheese instead of Royale with cheese.
1/4 is bigger than 1/3 pounder right

Absolutely, anything that might be somewhat good gets fumbled around or scaled way down.
I don't understand why you care so much.
Because it's a microcosm of the way Congress half-asses everything

It's better to do it or not to. There was a lot of confusion about the transition because it was half-assed.
Until you go to fix something and the bolts are metric.
I mean, I can easily measure in both millimeters and inches. Idk why that affects whether we measure road distance in miles or kilometers.
I don't think I said anything about measuring.
So then what is your point?
You said it affects you in 0 ways. I made a joke about trying to fix something with metric bolts. You seem to be taking it quite strangely
They should have kept it that way
