Australia can’t get back the time lost to lockdowns – but an extra hour of daylight saving would help

State governments have released reopening roadmaps and are on their way to vaccinating us to freedom, and while the thought of a return to the great Australian summer has provided a morale boost, the knowledge of all the days we have lost to lockdowns this year remains difficult to scrub from our minds.

Among my peers of twentysomethings, there is a sense we have been robbed of an uncomfortable enough chunk of what is meant to be the best time of our lives.

Clearly, he hasn’t figured out the con yet. Wish I could be there to see his face when he finally gets it.

Stop with Daylight Savings, STOP IT!!!

It's a relic from Progressive micromanaging polices from a century ago!

However, there are myriad benefits to having two hours of daylight saving instead of one – and beyond that, permanently shifting our standard winter time zone forward one hour as well.

These half measures are pointless. Ban night.

“vaccinating us to freedom”

Shackling us to mobility

Muzzling us to garrulousness

Hobbling us to terpsichorean-ty

I’ll bet he’s got a set of red and black plaid jammies with feet and a big hot chocolate mug.

Daylight savings times make dealing with times and dates in software many times more difficult than necessary. They just just abolish it. If people want to shift their schedule two hours, then they should just shift their schedule.

There is no “going back to normal” for Australia or for American. That is not happening. The midterms don’t matter, 2024 doesn’t matter. The Vaccine Regime is entrenched beyond the power of any political party in our system. Shoot, we still have “conservative” Freepers buying into this hoax. Trump himself bought in hard. He takes credit for the vaccines that don’t work. The institutions are utterly corrupted. A peaceful separation (which won’t be entirely peaceful) needs to be the conversation. This cannot hold. I don’t know what will happen down under, but I suspect something really ugly is in their near future.

Daylight Saving Time = early to bed and early to rise, by orders of the government.

On the other hand, I really do like sunset after 9pm in June and July

Sure, why not? More government intrusion fixes everything.
