There's kind of a difference between "whoever happens to be wealthiest at the moment" and "The 0.001% of the population that is three times wealthier than the bottom 50% of humanity combined."

Seems like a lot of math they could argue.

Fine them daily gross income for each identified product for each day since the last inspection with no findings.

Make them beg for more frequent inspections.

Given the existance of The Big Mac Index, which seeks to compare global currencies and their respective buying power, this is actually fascinating.

The meter is defined by the distance light travels in a specific fraction of a second. It may have been initially defined by a rough estimate but it (and all metric measurements) are now fixed to universal constants.

Also the foot is currently defined exclusively as 0.3048 meters, so you are already using metric.
