After all, US congress passed pl 39-183, the metric act of 1866, which went Into effect in 1866 and prohibits refusing to trade in metric and prohibits refusing to accept a court document because it is in metric. US is member of la convention du metre and other international standard organisations and should not deny its citizens the ability to receive official instruction in metric and international standard units. There is also possibility of joining forces with native americans who should be able to ban non-metric units and the twisted stupid date format with the day in the middle on their lands. US passport does not use the twisted stupid date format with the day in the middle. In linux: uname -a ; date -I ; date +"%Y %j %T" ; date +"%Y %B %d %T" give os namn and various forms of mathematically correct date format.
There should be a simple law: in any transaction between any 2 entities , call them x0 and x1, if x0 asks it to be conducted in metric, x1 must comply and the transaction should be conducted in metric. If x1 refusés, x0 should get the right to sue x1 for > $1000000/transaction indexed to inflation. We should try contact Lincoln Chafey to lobby congress to pass such Law.
