The knee jerk - anti change response is strong!

I completely support this but I’m a scientist so already biased here. The only time I really have troubles shifting is temperature… I just like the finer scale of Fahrenheit for the range of human experience.

But in all this pushback what really amazes me is some of the following just seem to be ignored: Doesn’t seem to matter that we already have Km/hr and mph on our cars (just flip the emphasized unit). Or that anyone crossing the Canadian or Mexico border has to “make these conversions” Any mechanic worth their weight has a complete metric set as well as imperial. We buy liquids in liters (coke) a lot! The world has to make special tools for American products (or they don’t and we suck it up… eg cars) and Americans already make/use a lot of shit in metric (computer chips use nanometer as a scale) Also It’s just a name -switching to metric doesn’t mean the existing product has to be replaced. Your 200gal propane tank can still be filled with a metric volume of Propane

Will it require money to change signs - yes. Will a public awareness campaign be needed. Yes. Do I hear a lot of whining about “change sucks and any change is bad” - yes
