So now you're upset we switched to metric?
I'm saying it sucks that Reagan pushed back on metric by abolishing the board responsible for the Metrication of the US, dooming us to the current situation where we're stuck in the middle
7 years after it was put in place...
And it's been 40 years since and multiple things have happened...
Like, sure, Reagan was a bastard man, but you're missing not just details but broad strokes if you're blaming that for how things are now
