Americans Use the Metric System

You posted “as per your example” in a reference to a gun.
it was the same context you were posting about
You said it was easy to understand the metric system.
I said kids learn about it from age 5 because of guns

It was your context

The thread started and is again now about guns

I said the metric system isnt all that difficult to use.......


It doesnt take a genius to understand divisions and multiples of tens...... as per OPs example.

I mean some people are pretty daft unfortunately due to Biden/Kamalas and the Socialist Democrats destruction of educational standards and quality education in America...... but even then as said it doesnt take a genius to understand multiples and divisions of tens.

Me I just use the Metric System because it's just easier to make food that way for me...... It just makes everything more consistent vs using quarts and ounces and BS too......


I mean I'm all for more people using it as it just makes work easier in general but yeah in kitchens IMO it's pretty stupid most people in America use quarts, gallons, cups and ounces and BS...... when you have the metric system.


Grams and Killos, Liters are easier to work with in a kitchen IMO and it just makes more sense.

Tell that to kids who graduated without even being able to read or do basic maths......


Thanks to Bidens/Kamalas WokeDucation and WokeMerica..... children have a lower standard of education since any generation before them over the past 50+ years.


American children deserve better and this is why President Trump is Making Education Great Again along with Making America Great Again.....



Providing children a better education than Kamala or Biden because that is what American Children deserve ^_^

Disagree. I think it's all in what you're used to.
I have no issues using pints/quarts/gallons/cups etc.
for baking i weigh things out in ounces, again no problem

Some people find metric easier, cool.

This but I mean let's be real here........


Metric is just much easier to use..... makes more sense from a basic math point of view and with a digital scale for me metric just makes more sense. When your working out ratios and percentages as well or making a recipe from scratch IMO or just working out recipes for consistency.


It's much easier IMO to work out ratios and percentages in general with the metric system than it is using quarts, cups and pounds or whatever but that's me..... I didn't like it at first but overall overtime it's just a better way to do things for me vs quarts/cups etc etc.


If your measuring by in Kilos/Liters/Grams and multiples of 10s for me it's just a better way of doing things especially to really nail down things.

I’m curious, how long do you think Biden and Harris were in office for? Lol

Long enough to destroy American educational standards and quality education and to destroy childrens future and education in America.



As said the Biden/Kamala administration is responsible for the lowest level of education any generation has received in 50+ years as per the Nations Report Card.



Thankfully President Trump is setting things right Making Education Great Again/America Great Again and providing a higher level of education that children in America rightfully deserve.

This was a long decline that started way before Biden/Harris. They didn't help, but they didn't cause it.
Just sayin

Yeah, you mentioned that.
I can read a tape measure, a vernier caliper, a micrometer, etc.
i don't need things in 10s to measure.

No one does.......



But in general when your working out recipes or making a product in general..... relative to ratios and percentages if you use multiples of tens and the metric system it just makes work easier, makes for a more consistent product, lower margin of error, better quality etc etc for me and IME.



Relative to ratios and percentages it's just better and easier and kitchens should use metric vs cups/quarts etc etc as it just makes more sense to do it that way for said reasons IMO.

Not really......


Every generation before this current one which I call Generation D- has actually had a better education than the previous generation before them...... since the 70s this has been a trend.....


Every new generation since the 70s has had higher and better maths/reading levels until 2020-2024 and Kamala/Biden.




The Biden/Kamala administration is responsible for the reversal of this trend and their administration destroyed quality education in America for children.



Children deserve better and President Trump will reverse the trend and provide the higher education kids in America were robbed of by the previous administration and Socialist Scum Democrats.

It works better for you.
I love that for you.
Doesn't work better for me.
Sounds like some people can't measure, doesn't make anything more consistent unless you can't measure consistently

As someone who went to school in the 70s, i completely disagree with this statement.
Look, i'm not a fan of the Biden/Harris administration, but blaming them for decades of decline, when they were only in for 4 years seems nuts.
I'm already regretting responding to this, your posting style makes your stuff hard to read.

The trends are recorded and cataloged..... as the numbers show every generation since tue 70s has had a better education than the generation before them...... until 2020-2024....


When Kamala/Biden destroyed childrens education and destroyed any real standards of a quality education. The robbed children of their education and future......



President Trump will restore childrens education and provide them with a real quality education they rightfully deserve. A quality education is a right for every child in America and the President will provide a better one for them than those that came before him.
