      In the US it’d be attacked as un-American and as part of the “culture wars” the US right wing seem to imagine. The government would be attacked for taking away “freedom units”.

      Electoral reform with proportional representation would be better priority so government can reflect the majority, and not the noisy fringes.

        I saw a clip from probably Fox where someone made that point. He wanted to be able to use his grandma’s recipes for whatever and also noted that the metric system was creacted by revolutionaries, the implication obvious being the pride that North America has never had a single revolution, which is why you’ll see pictures of the king in every classroom and the union jack being flown everywhere in the colonies.
