In the US, we should make things even more confusing to anger the metric folks. I propose we redefine the “foot” every four years. The length of the foot will always correspond to the actual measured foot length of the current US president.
the fact that you think this will anger metric folks who already don’t make sense of your dumb system rather than ruin many aspects of your country … uh … never mind, you’re already ruining many aspects of country. ignore what I was going to say. carry on.

Yeah, and she gonna be mad as fuck about that too!
What if we defined a foot such that a cubic food of some good, say potatoes or something, is a specific amount of money. So it’s tied to inflation.
What a wondefull idea!
We should bring back hogsheads, rods, fathoms, etc.
IIRC some of those crazy units are still referenced in certain laws of old…
