Nineteen states have passed legislation to make daylight saving time permanent. But those laws won’t take effect until Congress makes it legal. And the medical community sees one major problem.

    So, instead of changing the clocks in the spring, we’re going to start work an hour early? So we’re adjusting our schedule instead of our clocks? How the fuck is that any different?

        Oh, maybe you’re not joking? Have you heard about this thing people do called war? Maybe we souldn’t spend hundreds of millions of dollars and kill people?

          What does war have to do with the fact that every time we change the clocks it costs our economy about $350 billion dollars in lost productivity and kills about ~1,500 people due to increase cardiovascular stress?

      Stores already do this by closing earlier after DST ends. It’s currently a double fucked shift. It needs to be simplified.

        If they’re changing hours in the spring and fall, it’s because you live in a tourist town. Can’t blame the clocks for that, unfortunately.
