Every non US market could impose their will, simply by banning imports of products that use, or reference SAE instead of metric.

  • That's a lot of words to say the US probably wouldn't like the planet to shift to, insist on, SI exclusively.

  • I think you're confused about what I'm getting at. This would be more of a "You know what? Since you're unilaterally crashing the global economy and betraying all of your allies, and the gloves are off, we're sick of your shit." Point of view.

    As in keep your "that's what we've always used" to yourselves, and forget attempting to export anything that conforms to something other than metric. As in, adding cost to production to appease the strict anti-SAE, anti Imperial everything market. Sorry, can't import that; Fahrenheit has been referenced.

    Everything. Every commodity, ingredient, finished good. If it has anything other than SI attached to it, the rest of the world shuns it.

    The purpose would be to make it very irritating for American companies to bend to the rest of the world's standard, simply because you're being complete Dickheads on the global stage.

  • This is you not grasping what it might be like to have the entire world refusing to engage the US in imperial units, in any capacity, right down to shunning products that display both units. Wtf is a mile per gallon? Can't import that. Oh, you can toggle between that and metric? Can't import that, as imperial units are not permitted. No dual units display allowed.

    That's just automotive, without much thought.

    There would be many other consumer and commercial grade product lines, where the world could make American companies squirm to export products cost effectively, if all of their shit requires freedom units in the manufacturing or labeling, to retain their domestic market.

    Also didn't mind stating that the high prices (at the time) were caused by Joe Biden.

  • You can absolutely cling to DARVO-style explanations for Trump's fuckups if you want. You can even cut back on eggs a bit, and do your part.

  • No they don't.

    Not when their current president campaigned loudly about how high egg prices were all Joe Biden's fault, and that when elected, Trump would bring down prices immediately.

    Now prices are far higher, coupled with shortages, with no Imediate anything.

    People need to do the opposite of chill tf out.
