I use both metric and imperial for work. But the issue is changing every single street sign, updating all of our school material, etc would cost the country billions of dollars and it just isn’t worth it at this point.

It happened every morning in my school, but we weren’t forced. I would routinely just stay seated and not say the pledge, personally.
Granted this was 6 years ago, but I met my now fiancée on bumble. It might be worse now, not sure
I’ve heard public transit is pretty good in DC, too. My fiancée and I are planning a trip to DC at the end of August. I plan on parking my car at the hotel and just use public transit, so we’ll test that theory.
EDIT: Also, I’ve never been to Salt Lake City. Seems like a really cool place though!
Agreed, the only cities that I’ve been to that had decent public transport were Chicago (The L) and New York City.
I’m a Controls Engineer, from the day I started university in 2015, I’ve pretty constantly heard the phrase “You’re an engineer, figure it out!” Even when it comes to something that is completely unrelated to my field, which is mostly everything.
I did learn metric in school, did you not? I’m in Ohio, not sure if it’s different elsewhere. Typically it was tied to physics and chemistry, but still learned it.
