It depends on the country you live in. You will have to research that. As a rule of thumb, it is conservative/ right wing parties pushing for heavier surveillance of citizens.

As it stands right now, the Eu parliament (which consists of people who we vote in to office), is the government body which opposes these measures. But there are only a few member countries left in the parliament which do that, so our votes are important!

Read some of my other comments. 0-100 is more intuitive than -18-38, no? None of you have even been willing to admit that simple fact yet.

Well because it stands on a false promise. Neither 0°F = the freezing temperature of a solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride nor 100°F has any „real“ meaning. The other limit established was his best estimate of the average human body temperature, originally set at 90 °F, then 96 °F . How is that intuitive.

If you are refering to negative degrees, quite useful for telling how the weather is going to be. And to prevent the „negative numbers are hard“-Argument. It seems to work for the majority of people.

For the human bodytemperature argument often throw around: they are inconsiquential numbers in both systems.

Multiple problems with you assertions.

A) Fahrenheit has an appropriate level of granularity for humans

You know that Celsius uses decimals for everything, so really not much difference. Furthermore the granularity of Fahrenheit doesn‘t have any advantages. You won‘t be able to feel wether its 70°F or 71°F outside, nor if you’ve got a fever of 101°F or 102°F. You need to look at a thermometer. And please don‘t reply saying that decimals are complicated. The majority of the planet, except certain Countries seem to manage just fine. Would be quite laughable if one certain country thinks it‘s too complicated.

B) Fahrenheit has an intuitive frame of reference for humans

Not really sure what you are referencing. I think it just stems from you growing up with Fahrenheit, so not feeling comfortable with anything else.

But Fahrenheit is the temperature scale of the proletariat, the working man, the average Joe. And I'm here for it.

I mean the “proletariat” of the majority of the world uses Celsius.

I don‘t think that article says what you think it says. First we need to accept your comparison and generalize the study to question wether law enforcement will treat you differently because of political views. And then it clearly states that the LOE treated the participants differently (negatively), because of the political views:

„Nevertheless, he concluded that it is statistically unlikely that this number of previously 'safe' drivers could amass such a collection of tickets without assuming real bias by police against drivers with Black Panther bumper stickers.“

Note that the “Nevertheless“ is in the context of the police only using the political bumper stickers as reason for citation only once. The rest of the citations were for other reasons. The participants had not been cited in all their driving in the year prior without the stickers. This leads to the mentioned statement by the author
