Look closely at almost anything and you’ll find data — lots of it. But when you go through the math, what do all those numbers really say about who we are and what we believe in? CNN’s Harry Enten is on a mission to find out. In this installment on Margins of Error, Harry will lay out big ideas like highlights about where we live, how much money it takes to be happy, and whether America should eventually move to a metric system.
Why won’t Americans give an inch on the index Harry goes the extra mile to find out why the US is one of the few countries that doesn’t follow this indicator. Americans don’t seem to be content in a liter AND liter hybrid world. Why can’t we choose a form of measurement? Turns out there’s a lot of national pride and history packed into every inch and pound of our pound – not to mention money and politics. June 7, 2022
