Fine, I say we take every single bit of his hundreds of billions in $1 bills and bury it on top of him. I'm sure that weighs quite a bit

0.63 Empire State Buildings. So yeah, quite a bit.

Americans will use anything but metric as a unit of measurement.

I always hate seeing that, then i remember i've used both football feilds and time to drive somewhere as units of distance. So yeah, we will use anything

Time is a perfectly valid unit of distance. Just look at light years. On Earth, I mostly use the unit of distance me-minutes

Interestingly, analysing distance in me-minutes reveals that spacetime is not flat, because a distant location on the train line can be much closer to me than something 5 km away but far away from public transit.

Living in Michigan I show distance by pointing to spots on my hand.
