  6. So the House just passed a bill to make Daylight Savings Time permanent in the US. If it passes the Senate, it will happen. I'll be interested to see how happy people are the first winter as they send their children off to school in the dark before going to work in the dark each morning.

    I'm old enough to remember the last time the US did this (in the 1970s). It was supposed to be for two years to save energy, but people hated it so much they ended it early.

    I guess those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. (George Santayana was pretty clever.)

  11. I’m old. Many members of Congress are old as well. Why is it that I remember the 1970s energy crisis and Nixon’s “permanent switch” to #daylightsavingstime that was repealed by Ford because people hated it?
    Sunrise after 8am wasn’t terribly popular.
    Lather rinse repeat

  13. @david_megginson From best to worst, I rank the options:
    1. Permanent standard time
    2. Permanent daylight savings time
    3. Switching the clock between standard and DST

    That's because I think switching is the biggest problem.

    Why do you rank permanent DST as the worst option?

  23. Somehow I missed that #Alberta , #BC, and the #NorthwestTerritories are joining the #Yukon to stop switching their clocks back and forth: cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/da

    "Cows, notorious for their inability to read clocks, are hungry when the sun rises, he said." (Infants too are not governed by the clock.)

    Apparently Alberta and BC are adopting permanent daylight time; I'd have preferred standard, but the most important thing is to stop switching.

  28. Reminder that many #Disabled people have trouble getting up earlier in the morning, as determined by sunrise and not arbitrary numbers. #DaylightSavingsTime further excludes us from public life by making everything close an hour earlier, on top of further disconnecting everyone from the natural cycles of the world.

    Huh, interesting, states have the option of opting out/keeping Daylight Savings time if'n I read this right? Honestly I think that's a better idea, by default no more DST.
