To think about it, perhaps US should have started metrification back in 1980 when EU enforced it for its members. It takes time, but is doable - if took Ireland 25 years to fully switch to metric.
The cost of switching increases over time and will increase further and further, making it less and less likely. Would have been way cheaper back then.
