As a man who must convert silly-meters to fractional inches and vice-versa on a daily basis I'm in the fuck metric camp.
Any machinist who was raised before CNC will agree, even over in Europe...
Fuck a bunch of Frenchy French, Jacobinite metric system.
I have a truck with 300 cubic inch displacement engine.
A Harley Big Twin is 80 cubic inches.
The 'amazingly ignorant people' have a point - they didn't get the new money... I didn't get the new money... but SOMEBODY did!
Of course we all did. It was in our wallets the whole time. It's magically worth less now.
I feel rather saddened that i have to explain this: When new money is created... some people DO get it. They get the new money. You and I do not. It is newly created money that some people - mainly those close to the banking system - get to actually spend. THEM spending it into the broader economy is what drives OUR prices up.
All of your pictures would cost me a lot of money.
