@saramg There are only three countries in the entire world NOT using metric.

Liberia
Myanmar
United States

America is in good company.

@vwbusguy @saramg
Stone predates metric.
I'm Canadian and use both imperial and metric, because I'm old enough.

Try being in Canada and measuring distances in hours driven.
Construction measurements are metric, but when you measure yourself, it's feet and inches.
Shipping weight is metric, but a person's weight is pounds.
Weather temperature is Celcius, but normal body temperature is 98.6 degrees.
It's a bizarre mix.

@thomasfuchs The American Health Insurance industry is an unneeded layer of bureaucracy set up to simply siphon off a percentage of medical funding as profit. It contributes NO benefit to its customers whatsoever, instead doing only harm to customers and to the system.

A non-profit, government-regulated, medical administration system is what America needs badly.

If only there were politicians who had the cojones required to stand up and say "NO MORE!"
