Please read this article. Until we in the US complete the
transition to the metric system, we will remain uncompetitive, we
already lose a substantial amount of business because we use an
antiquated labor intensive form of measurement inherited from the
British, who no longer us it. NO ONE ELSE USES IT! I believe this
to be a major priority toward our being able to compete in a
global marketplace.

Dear Michael, Nat, and All,
I have now rewritten the article, 'Cost of non-metrication in the
USA' and included the reference to the Denver Business Journal
article you refer to here.
I have also slimmed down the size of the 'Cost of non-metrication in
the USA' article so that it is now less than 3 pages.
