Dear All,
You may recall that I have estimated that it costs the USA a bit over
a trillion dollars each year not to go metric (See: http://
www.metricationmatters.com/docs/CostOfNonMetrication.pdf ). This
video explains some of the reasons these costs exist.
This 2.5 minute video is an absolute gem — please spread it widely.
