In May, the House Energy and Commerce Committee voted 48-1 in favor of the Sunshine Protection Act. The U.S. Senate voted unanimously in March 2022 to make daylight saving time permanent but the House never took up the measure in the face of opposition. The proposal the House will consider next week would allow states to opt out.
We’re in DST twice as much as we’re in standard time. Keeping DST year round is the option most adherent to “change your schedule, not the clock”. Adjusting winter hours for things is just as viable as adjusting summer hours is, so I’m not understanding why everybody insists on standard time year round and then says that it doesn’t matter what the clock says because you can just change behaviors. Like yeah, we’re saying the same thing, but we barely experience standard time so why would that be the one we pick? There’s less to change if we pick DST.
Who is? It’s not 8/4 here.
No, not when you put the sun and clock out of sync. Just fucking change when you set your alarm if you don’t want the health benefit of morning sun.
Having a deliberately wrong clock because there’s an unjustified offset when you don’t need the offset is stupid.
I’m not really sure I understand your comment.
Who is what? Who is experiencing twice as much DST as standard time? The US. And the post is about changing what the US does, so that’s a relevant detail. I don’t really care that Sweden doesn’t do that because nobody is talking about Sweden.
No, not what?
Idk dude, you seem really upset and I can’t really make heads or tails of it.
