Don’t care either way, haven’t changed a clock in over 10 years (since I retired).

I get up when the light comes into the southeast bedroom window, I go to bed when I get tired!

No that is just stupid.

you cut the side of the blanket.

Then you sew that onto the top.

The extra part of the side you keep.

Each time you do this the blanket really does get longer and you get your cut too.

IIRC, Permanent DST on a national basis was killed by Bob Dole leading the charge after parents’ objections came flooding in - the issue being kids having to wait for morning buses in the dark.

I am thinking they knew full well about destruction from within. The tyranny of coporate and government collusion. The bloodlust for oppression, the need to bear arms to withstand. They did not set up the senate like this and we see why.
The fedralists papers are full of these warnings.

Historic, but incorrect. They should have put us back on Standard Time. DST will make school kids vulnerable as it will be dark when they have to walk to the bus stop. This is a Pedo’s dream come true.

You are correct.
DST has the noon sun occurring at 2 in the afternoon at my longitude.

Women and children will be hurt the most.

Obviously! And it’s racist!

It’s going to require at least $500 billion in additional welfare spending to protect the most vulnerable.

This foolishness is yet another reason I’m glad to be where I’m at. Switching to/from Daylight Savings Time is not even a thought on anybody’s mind here...not even the most ambitious politician.

The shortest day during the winter is about 11.5 hours or so. The longest day is 12.5 hours or so. No possible reason to switch times here.

Funny. With Covid, I lost respect for “experts”. Decades ago I lost respect for the Senate. Who to trust? Flip a coin? Rock-paper-scissors? Eeny-meeny?

Another power grab by the federal government.

Either you vote or you don’t vote.

Glad that works for you, but if I have an appointment, I have to know what time it is in the society I live in.

I’m for this but that the Senate could pass a bill “accidently” is a damning indictment of the body.
