Daylight Saving Time Has a Devastating Consequence That No One Is Talking About

This is behind a paywall but just the title and incipit is enough to gauge the lunacy. They truly do think the Dem voter base are completely morons.

Move it back a week, or just go permanently to DST.

[Borges]

Better to go to standard time permanently. But the reason given here is deranged.

[cgbg]

Leftists are such drama queens.

This one is hilarious.

[gunnut]

The author is an idiot.

[Political Junkie Too]

For me, it means putting the stars back where they're supposed to be according to the clock.

the article is obviously lunacy

but I AM sick and tired of this clock setting and resetting confusion every year....

The US has no shortage of land in different Latitudes.

Solar Input varies.

Time zones are too wide.

We need nuance in seasonal official clock setting.

I challenge any politician that supports flipping back and forth between politician established time and Divinely appointed time to come debate my cat and convince it that the politicians are right and the cat is wrong.

The real question is whether Daylight Savings Time is Satanic in origin.

“This is behind a paywall but just the title and incipit is enough to gauge the lunacy. They truly do think the Dem voter base are completely morons.”

I agree the Dems are and pieces of 💩.

[Fester Chugabrew]

It’s just an hour. Get over ourselves either way. My preference is to leave the clock alone out of sheer simplicity of living.

Now that he has figured this out, he has to be dealt with.

[griffin]

Every spring and fall we should just bump her ahead and hour. No more of this fallback goofiness!

[military cop]

No one bothers informing the cattle.

Slate: It’s Trump’s fault.

[Fungi]

Bingo. Much ado about nothing—but the leftists must continue to lead their fools into controlling their flock.

DST makes more sense the farther north you go; maybe we should divide the country somewhere around 40 degrees north, DST to the north, StdT to the south. It won’t be confusing, I promise.

[Right_Wing_Madman]

DST makes more sense the farther north you go

It's the opposite. DST makes more sense as you move south to the equator. In the summer, the north has longer days than the south and in the winter, DST means darkness until 9 or 10 am.

[Java4Jay]

Darkness at 5pm is depressing

[radu]

Most of the commicrat voters ARE complete morons. Many will believe this tripe.
