A metric ton equals about 2,200 pounds while a ton is 2,000 pounds.
Why can't those metric people be satisfied with a real ton? And a mile?

Because they are Progressives. They are constantly fiddling with things that work perfectly fine.

They do it because it is a power grab. A dispute over something as insignificant as weights and measures can be turned into an opportunity to rule.
