The U.S. customary lost so much money not switching. Metric is so easy when you need to convert between units and U.S. customary is harder. Nasa has been using metric system for all of their missions. Metric tempature is easier 0 degrees is freezing unlike a random number like 32 and 100 degrees is when water boils unlike a number like 212 degrees. Metric system is based on a number system of 10  which is easier to comprehend. america is losing 101.4 millions dollars by the second not fully switching to metric.]]> 2019-01-17 18:13:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mcohen142_1/tbn4jyqu0zvj/wish/321830711 https://padlet.com/mcohen142_1/tbn4jyqu0zvj/wish/321830763 Companies uses labels their products with Metric system and US Customary so the trading will not be effected with other countries.]]> 2019-01-17 18:13:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mcohen142_1/tbn4jyqu0zvj/wish/321830763 https://padlet.com/mcohen142_1/tbn4jyqu0zvj/wish/321830765 2019-01-17 18:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mcohen142_1/tbn4jyqu0zvj/wish/321830765 https://padlet.com/mcohen142_1/tbn4jyqu0zvj/wish/321830794 We are going to waste money we are going to need later in life.
If we would stay we would not have to go back to school like my dad he builds buildings and he went to court to fight and he per swayed the people there that it would be easier for the new science/ hotel unit he is building then it wouldn't be done until 2035 instead of 2026 because china is using metric there debt is 21.6 trillion dollars and bc we us U.S Customary we only owe 18.2 trillion dollars,]]> 2019-01-17 18:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mcohen142_1/tbn4jyqu0zvj/wish/321830794 https://padlet.com/mcohen142_1/tbn4jyqu0zvj/wish/321830945 we shouldn't switch because it would cost millions of dollars to switch. if the us customary system isn't broken why would we have to change it? changing the way we use our numbers and things would confuse many american's. and if we don't switch we wouldn't have to learn the whole metric system.]]> 2019-01-17 18:13:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mcohen142_1/tbn4jyqu0zvj/wish/321830945 https://padlet.com/mcohen142_1/tbn4jyqu0zvj/wish/321831009 It will cost $370 million to switch.All of are cars run in miles so we will have to switch it all.for example at the grocery store you ask for a pound of fish now if we switch we will have to change are whole system of packaging.

Another reason why we should should switch to  metrics is 11 more countries just switched to the metric system. Another reason that we should switch is that the government thinks that we are too stupid and patriotic  to switch to the metric system, however, they are wrong because I think that it would be stupid to stay the same because metric is 10,000,000,000 times better to understand and easier. It is also is much more intuitive.NASA: It would cost $370 million to convert to metric. We are also loosing money because we are not switching to the Metrics.

We would already have changed the spoons and measurements

NASA has already switched to metric

Also switching would cost a lot of money but in the long run we would get out of debt from trading with all of our resources!

Calculating units would be easy and double checking would also be easy!

Our adults already know metric and customary! 

In 1975 we used metric and US

Everyone, switching to the metric system would cost a lot of money and time. Everyday people would be affected by this change by needing more school time. Small businesses like "JD 3D printing" pricing and profit would be affected by this change.  

Our everyday deeds like cooking would be harder and more timely.

Another thing is our Army uses metric system is to be able to work with other operations, or allies' operators. 

Another detail is that spending all this money on such a stupid problem could force us into a governmental shutdown and possibly another civil war on this disagreement.

The easy use of the metric system is being used in the US in small ways the government feels would not harm us economically or hurt our citizens understanding of measurements.
