    CBSA officials seized some eight million grams of drugs compared to five million taken by U.S. Custom and Border Protection (CBP) officials last year, government data shows.

    Even when using SI units, Americans just have to make it weird somehow. 8 million grams? Who the hell uses grams like that? Just call it 8000 kilos or something

        I guess it’s because they use to nab people for way smaller amount of drugs so they used the same unit even in case of huge haul for consistency. Still weird tho, SI units are made to be completely consistent at all times.

    Sure, because his threat was so successful at intimidating us the first time. What’s the definition of insanity, again?

      Voting for the same two political parties for longer you’ve been alive and expecting things to change for the better.
