    I don’t know why the U.S. gets shit for using the system that our colonial overlords forced us to use in the first place.

    The only reason we’re still using it today is inertia. If we gradually tried phasing it out we’d have a lot more people on board with officially switching over to it versus the “ripping the band-aid” method of doing it all at once and causing culture shock to a bunch of ignorant Americans who haven’t done math since 8th grade.

        Yeah I get it we suck but can we focus on what we actually suck about than nitpicking for bonus points?
