As an engineer, let me explain to you the SI units.
Using the metric system GREATLY reduces complexity in calculations and increases efficiency. It is perfectly fine for the United States to continue to use the Imperial System for day to day measurements, but it's entirely debilitating for engineering and science.
There is no enormous leap from moving to imperial units to the metric system for a technical person, but technical people don't use the imperial units because of conversion constants which are eliminated in metric units. The SI (metric) system was purposely designed to simplify mathematics by eliminating conversion constants. It DRASTICALLY reduces complexity.
So we're sticking with it, you are free to have a pint of beer, even if we are drinking (approximately) 1/2 liter. We get a little more anyhow.
But SI units are racist because they don't include the gender, race, culture and history of those using them. They are a means to oppress women, LGBT and PoC, created by the white old man ;)
WHY THE FUCK IS THIS IN KILOMETERS?!?!?!?
I just about vomited when I saw it wasn't in freedom units. China got to TDW D:
