We the USA in order to have a strong, vibrant job market and economy here at home, we need to speak the International Language of business, commerce and measurement systems. The one in place is the metric system.
USA is one the very few and fewer countries who holds on the old system out of pride and no good reason at all.
There I petition to move USA onto the metric system for at least three good reasons, pride not been one of them;
- It's how the rest of the world does it and we needed to so we can create good jobs here at home and have a good economy.
- It's easy to use in base of ten; 100 units of this adds up to one unit of that, a mouse can do it.
- This will open up USA to the to the rest of the world and vice-versa and bring jobs home, empower our economy in general.
