The US House voted Tuesday to pass a measure to enact year-round Daylight Saving Time across the country, springing Congress forward into an issue that has long stumped lawmakers and spurred impassioned pleas by parents, farmers and others with sharply divergent views.
It will now head to the Senate for approval before going to the president for his signature — though its chances in the upper chamber remain unclear.
If ‘measurable harm’ is what your aiming to prevent, abolishing the time change is pissing in the wind. Let’s start with something like gun violence, child poverty, homelessness, holy fuck, any number of issues. “Boohoo, my phone adjusted the time twice a year, I’m so hard done by. 😭”
Ummmm…does abolishing twice yearly time changes get in the way of working on gun violence, child poverty, homelessness, or any of the other issues? No? Then why be such an asshole about it?
We can only seem to work on one thing at a time, so how about we meet in the middle and do fuck all about anything but whinge about mild inconveniences?
Who is this we? I’m pretty positive most people are capable of more than just one thing. And since the current US congress is fucking worthless for anything other than enabling blatant corruption, I’m going to enjoy not having time changes if this actually makes it into law.
Also it isn’t just an inconvenience. It literally kills people.
