I was talking about weight vs mass

For day to day life, weight and mass might as well be the same. I love science and astronomy but I’m not buying a pound of lunch meat at the deli counter to take into space.
To me, kilometers and miles are in a similar class; I don’t have a reason to prefer one over the other. Same with kilos/pounds. Even though a kilo is more than double a pound, it’s used to measure the same kinds of things. As with Centimeters/inches, quarts/liters, yards/meters.
Metric seems to do better at measuring very small things, or very precise things, but lacks middle measures that help with day to day life like Ounces and Feet. If there was a metric foot, like a quarter or third of a meter, it would be more useful. Same if there was a metric ounce, lets say 25 grams (an actual ounce is slightly over 28 grams).
I got alot to say, my dude
As do I

Strictly speaking, they’re not the same. One is a near-right party, the other is a far right party. Although they ARE cut from the same cloth.

There are power cables overhead and poles that link the bus to the grid. No need for expensive flammable batteries that need extensive charging.

It’s time for someone in a country that ISN’T the US, Russia, or China to start a TikTok rival for people to switch to.

Less destructive than hitting at 25,000 miles an hour but still pretty destructive
This phrase is the basis for enforcing an equal society
This is the basis for having an equitable society. If someone needs insulin to stay alive, they have a greater need and receive greater resources so the quality of their life doesn’t diminish. Some people have needs so great that with an equal share of resources they would just die as their equal share would be insufficient to their needs. Should dialysis patients just die or also have their needs seen to while maintaining a reasonable quality of life?
There is no situation where a caste system results in a more equal society
This is a weird tangent you went off on that’s unrelated to my comment
