What's actually wrong with the us

[Snakebyte]

Many of you may think it's Trump, Clinton, weapons, aliens or whatever. But what's really frightening:

The US is one of only 3 countries on the entire planet still using the archaic imperial system of weights and measures (instead of the metric one, you know the one that makes sense).

Fyi: the other backwaters are Liberia and Myanmar

thank you, snakebyte, for liberia and myanmar...
one year... at the beginning of the 2 000 years decade it seems to me... a rocket crashed on the mars planet surface... because... the altitude data had been expressed following one of the system of measure... while the program interpreting the data was considering them according to the other system...
..............
also there is the nautical measure system which increases the difficulties... lol
I have to know the nautical mile... 1.852 kilometers... the terrestrial mile... 1.6xx kilometers... lol and the knot as speed unit...
