Actually, this is the first useful thing that they have passed in a long time. I actually support this. I appreciate having more daylight hours. I know that the timing is bad, but hey, at least they’re not passing more spending bills, gun control, or federal election laws.
You can't "have more daylight hours".. they are taking away a daylight hour in the winter time so it's a wash. I'd rather not have the sun set at 5pm, personally.
DST is another control mechanism of the elites. Most plebs suffer weight gain and sleep loss around DST. They're fucking with us. It does not "benefit farmers" which is the official narrative, since they have to get up when the animals get up anyway.
Sure, but it allows people to get more done later in the day when they're off work.
I’m happy if they just leave the time at where it is now. I could live with them fixing it at the earlier hour too. I just want them to pick one and keep it.
Yes DST never made sense it’s not like the sun has a clock. Depending on latitude so amount of sun hours.
And the farmers can farm 24x7. Even without it they would work dawn to dusk. Didn't matter what time it was.
Truth. Most farmers in my area harvest and plant well after dark as long as the conditions are good. DST I always thought was smooth brain bullshit
What's the difference. Dark is dark
The timing matters, particularly up north here in Canada. Last week I would get home from work at 5:30 and the sun would set at 6:30. Not really much time to do stuff. Now with this time it’s light until 7:30. I can take my kids out and actually do stuff in daylight. It makes a meaningful difference as to when you get off work relative to the suns schedule.
what else is in the bill
This
Agree 10 x 100
The language is convoluted though, as is the tradition.. "daylight savings time" infers by definition a polarity... Can't really call it that right? Like that's the name for the thing they just abolished.... Right?
I didnt read the bill and yes the “savings time” wording is bogus it should be “Adjustment” time since we save nothing but have to adjust our clocks both chrono and body.
YES the kids are what this is about now, hobby gardeners after work should not factor into the decision making when kids are so disproportionately affected. My thought is a half hour compromise, take us back a half hour in the fall and leave it. Otherwise we should look at creating another timezone or two and reconfiguring timezones so the west portions of timezones arent so out of whack
I wish they would have split the difference and made it a 30 minutes offset.
Fall back 30 minutes this fall and be done.
Then we'd consistently be 30 minutes out of sync with the entire rest of the world, as time zones are divided into different full hour segments. You can't just move 30 minutes back and still work with the time zones around the world.

Several regions are 30 and 45 minutes off.

I thought the same thing. I haven't seen congress do anything that would actually affect my life in a way that I agree with for a long time... but this will.
