    Name one even prime number other than 2. Name one flying mammal other than a bat. Name one Western country that doesn’t use metric other than the US.

    What point are you trying to make? This isn’t some gotcha, you are making pointless statements. 2 is still prime, bats still fly, the US still doesn’t use metric. Calling out a situation as being unique doesn’t make it stop being what it is.

      Answer the question then.

      Name one other job (that isn’t in the food service industry) where the buyers subsidize the worker’s salary voluntarily. To the point where, without tips, the worker would NOT make minimum wage.

      Unless you’re a bot or child, in which case I understand your deficiency in understanding the question.

        You keep saying the same thing like it’s relevant.

        You still haven’t named another even prime, flying mammal, or Western nation that doesn’t use metric.

        Let’s just focus on the last one: why should I have to learn yards and Fahrenheit and gallons when EVERY other Western country uses metric? No other Western country forces their children to learn that system, to the point you can’t understand standard signs and measures without it.

        It’s the same argument.

            Are you a child or a bot?

            Answer the question.

            Name one other western country (that isn’t the United States) where the residents have to use the imperial system. To the point where, without the imperial system, the resident would NOT be able to understand posted signs and measures.

            When you answer my question, you’ll have the answer to yours. Asking the same question again, or refusing to answer mine, will be proof that you can’t read, or can’t think, or both.

                Nope, wrong. We established that’s not the same: if other tipped positions don’t count the same as servers, then night club security doesn’t count the same as TSA. That’s why we moved to a more direct question:

                Name one other western country (that isn’t the United States) where the residents have to use the imperial system. To the point where, without the imperial system, the resident would NOT be able to understand posted signs and measures.

                I’m assuming you’re a child, because bots are better than this now. Unless you’re one of those old 90s era bots. Either way, not worth consideration.
