Try doing math with Roman numerals. What a pain!

Well, sometimes Roman numerals are concise.
I hope I live to be C.

If you want to export to the world, we are going to have to make and sell
things using the metric system. Germany has a trade surplus despite high wage
costs. There is far too much made in this country using units the Romans
invented and no one else used. Imagine us trying to use Roman numerals in all
our directions. We have to change, then we can sell to the rest of the world.
