- anthk 4y agoAmerica would be better with just three little improvements: - Celsius temperatures near any Fahrenheit article/post/news. - The metric system. Just scale up and down by ten. You already do it with dollars. So consider it done. - ISO 6801 dates. Year, month, day. Things scale down logically. Years are composed of months; and months, of days. Also, they would be no ambiguity issues.
- garbagecoder 4y agoFor the amount of money you're proposing to spend to make America better we could fund universal health care and almost completely fund 2-year college for everyone. I think that would be money better spent. And despite what everyone thinks of our schools, we manage to learn both systems and divide by numbers other than 10.
