I have a simple solution to make America Great Again.

Just replace all the labels that say “Hertz” (International System of Units) with “Cycles Per Second” or “CS” (English Units). America resisted that change until the mid-1970s, even though 1 cycles per second = Hertz.

Indeed, well into the 1970s, American-made equipment was rated kilocycles and megacycles per second, even though that’s a mix of the International System and English Units.
