> it seems weird that the US would still have the launch woes Europe had over ten years ago

Ha. That doesn't surprise me at all - "It's too hard or expensive for the US to change compared to other nations" is not an uncommon argument for opponents of change.

It used to drive me insane when I first moved here now but is now one of the quirks I love about the US - people aren't Luddites they just really value a national sense of individualism and urge to seek their own solutions!




Explains why the US still has the penny. Canada removed it (back when CAD was on par with USD!) and I haven't missed it.
