Metric Vs Imperial

why doesnt america adopt the metris system, other than the US, Myanmar(Burma) and Liberia are the only coutnries in the world that dont use it. Its much easier than the imperial and everyone else uses it, so why cant america?, it adds more to the ignorance that some americans have about the world

The problem with America is, it's the world's superpower. Americans seemingly don't care about anyone else in the world. There's Canada to the north, Mexico to the south. But it seems like a foreign planet unless you live within like 50 km of either. It's one those "we're better and you're not situations"

Like the clock runs 10 minutes fast, and is GMT -4 right now. If you live in New Brunswick or Nova Scotia, you're made. Everyone else... nope.

America is the most stubborn and ignorant nation in the world. Americans can't handle learning the metric system after coming up with the imperial system. Metric is so much better though.
