Not here for anything in particular, you'll just have to go with vibes (although films [movies], motorsport, politics, and culture seem to come up a lot.)
I reckon this is a Cummings alt.

I don't have an issue with the second point if it's keeping ultra-low emissions small cars on the road longer, which are the only cars that don't have a large tax to pay. Scrapping those artificially early is not helping carbon footprint.
The first point isn't unique to cars at all!

Just remember though, claiming benefits is bad, evil and causing the collapse of this country. Artificially undervaluing your house to avoid tax though is the height of patriotism.

There's a Larry Niven book which has metric time and it's bloody infuriating to read. :-)

The point is "2,000mg" is a lot of mg and "2g of Vitamin C" or whatever it was doesn't convey the same thing. It's not simpler if it obscures...
2 million km indicates "not that far really if you're talking solar systems," and if you are, then the simpler unit is light-seconds or AU anyway.

Those... Both happen in spoken English? Now? In this world? No real reason that would change, when a convention like "daily dosage in mg" is set, then you just use mg in that mental context, all the time.

Once Mum wasn't busy with, y'know, me (and two more), she became an art and textiles teacher, so you see the vibe.
