Aren't we officially already fully metric?
I believe so, but this guy wants to go after everything else like getting trades to use it and make metric the default setting on electronics.
IDK if thats the best plan or if he realizes what an uphill battle certain things might be. Like ovens; our oven somehow switched over to metric on thanksgiving and it totally messed me up, I spent a LOT of time figuring out how to change that back to F. Another issue is industries that just aren't going to want to change: aviation, boats I think are imperial, railways are, home building, etc.
The problem is 16" centres and 4' x 8' sheets of plywood.
No, let's just change all that to metric and get carpenters to refigure out what they're doing. Mills can just retool to cut plywood, boards, and insulation in metric right?
