the bill would finally get rid of Daylight Savings Time. everyone was on board, and then the Democrats just didn’t do anything about it.
Same thing happened in the California state legislature.
Good, permanent summer time would be horrible. If we want to get rid of DST, we need to get rid of it properly by making non-summer time permanent.
agree to disagree, I suppose. I would much rather have the sun rise at 7 and set at 5 than rise at 6 and set at 4.
I don’t know how you plan on changing the Earth’s axial tilt to accomplish that, but you can go ahead and try if you really want.
To be fair, this bill was passed in the Senate essentially by accident.
:walter-shock: politicians when they accidentally agree on something besides funding police and the military
Two days later, BuzzFeed News reported that many senators were not aware that a request had been made for the bill to pass via unanimous consent and were not ready to raise an objection. Rubio’s office had notified every other senator’s office of the request; however, it is a frequent occurrence for legislative staff to “vet the request” themselves to “decide if an issue is too benign or obviously doomed to bother their boss with”. BuzzFeed identified Tom Cotton (R‑AR) as a senator who, according to a member of his staff, was vehemently opposed to the bill and would have objected to its passage had he been informed of it
what are we paying these people for?
I want you guys to pass this shit so we can get railroaded into doing the same thing because we have terminal little brother syndrome and just do whatever you do.
same. im not looking forward to it being pitch black by 5pm again :ohnoes:
Motherfucker I thought they actually did it, I really thought we weren’t switching the clocks back this year. Fuck! Im genuinely so upset by this, I just want permanent summer time so bad
