In a series of social media posts over the last week, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has strongly suggested that the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, will end the semiannual clock changes.
Yep. We should stay on “spring forward” time, which I believe is DST, year-round. No more stupid changing the clocks, and it may not be dark when you go to AND get off work if you do a regular schedule during the winter. The extra hour of sunlight is just a great summer bonus.
If they end time changing but keep us on the current time, I’m going to be fucking pissed.
For what school there was. Back then, I was helping out on my dad’s ranch. He had to sell it for medical money recently. Ranch was in the family for 170 years, and bam! lost to the greed of the rich.
Or I refuse to redefine natural time to fit the whims of capitalist beaurocracy that doesn’t want to adjust itself for human needs but instead wants to adjust time itself.
I live in CT. Usually when we do a study on getting rid of DST (studies which never go anywhere) it’s about moving to Atlantic standard time, which would be essentially DST year round, rather than EST
Come to New England and see if you still have the same opinion. The sun sets before 4 pm some days of the year. Standard time can go fuck itself.

The current argument against constant Daylight Time is that kids would have to go to school in the dark.
Aren’t they doing that anyway? School started at 7 back in the 1850s when I was there.

My dude, I live in the North as well, but noon is when the sun is at its peak, time is time.
You must not do many things outside if this is your take.

Have fun living in your fucking anarchic fantasy land. I’ll be over here raising my kids with circadian rhythms.

Can’t speak for CT but this is definitely the correct timezone for anyone east of Worcester. People legit have no idea how bad it is.
