President-elect Donald Trump on Friday confirmed that Republicans will work together to ditch Daylight Saving Time, the practice of changing the clocks by an hour twice a year.
Right after lowering grocery prices.
this would be pretty good. i hope heâs not full of shit on this one thing
So states he canât fix greedflation and moves to checks notes âŚeliminating daylight savings. Pretty fuckin low on the listâŚ
Iâd rather be on savings time year round but yeah, the switch is the worst.
Good news for you: thatâs what heâs likely planning (if he implements the 2022 Senate bill as-is).
Bad news for kids: that means they have to walk to school in the dark with sleep-deprived people operating heavy machinery in their vicinity for a bigger portion of the year.
Thereâs a pretty major difference between a moral panic and pointing out that something is going to decrease safety. Most notably, those moral panics are often opposed to things that actually do make kids safer.
Broken clock.
Except that the Dems tried to do this recently and the Republicans wouldnât come to the table, but as soon as they are in: âoh hey guys, check out our great policy you all loveâ.
Just saw this comment after posting saying it better than i: https://lemmy.world/comment/13969026
A broken clock can be right three times a day, if it breaks between 2AM and 3AM on the day of the DST changeâŚ
Or more often, if it runs backwards. Far less often if it runs fast or slow.
