Not a day goes by without a blow administered by Donald Trump to the terrible Wokist-Sorororist octopus! The White House leader today signed the decree officially switching the United States to the Cyrillic alphabet, ending the dark age of Latin script on America’s sunny Gulf coasts.
“You know who uses Latin letters? Mexicans and Colombians, who bring us drugs. Why use a crackhead alphabet when there’s a great one, absolutely wow, invented by two monks. The monks aren’t druggies, they’re not Mexicans, they don’t eat dogs. That’s it. From now on, anyone who writes in Latin eats cats. Canadians. You’re effectively the last Canadians,” Trump said, alluding to his earlier war against Mexicans who eat dogs and cats after marinating them overnight in a drug-laced, super-proven and verified drug bath.
Russian President Vladimir Putin welcomed Trump’s upright gesture and sent him a gift of a set of colored pencils produced at the famous “Pobeda” stationery factory in Pasholnahuisk.
US federal law to make the switch to Metric was decades ago…
It’s just they never I cluded language for when states have to change.
That’s why the federal interstate markers say KMs along with MIs.
Not sure what the loophole is for still putting only miles on exit signs, but technically the US has been metric for a very long time.
Oddly enough, it was a Republican (Ford specifically) who it happened under.
We were progressing pretty well and then we elected Reagan.
At the time the party split because a majority of the party thought Jimmy Carter was moving too far right and they were worried where it would lead…
And by some weird trick of history, Carter is know widely remembered as the last great progressive Dem…
The Overton window moving right has been a huge problem for a very very long time.
where? i’ve never seen this
Some near Canada do
Only on a short stretch from Nogales to Tucson.
Most signs were dual marked back in late 70s, tv weather reported in both etc. Now all we get is pop and drugs.
