Finally something even the left can get behind.
With all this insane shit going on, it might actually end up having one benefit
We need to keep daylight savings and eliminate standard time. We’re on standard time right now. I hate it getting dark at 5pm.
For sure, it’s depressing as hell for it to get dark so early.
As someone in daylight savings time now, it’s still bright outside at 830pm and that needs to stop
As someone who doesn’t like the sun that thing needs to stop
wow that guy has my vote! 😀
Will y’all shut the fuck up and act like you don’t want this? You’re going to ruin it.
We absolutely need to start protesting this so he makes it a priority.
This is literally how to shape his entire presidency and keep him from completely destroying the country. This move right here, every time.
Let’s make a list of things and how to complain and stick to the script.
I’ll go first. Man, I love tariffs!
The only way that Democrats will eventually come out on top here is massive tariffs. We have to get the word out and thank Donald Trump for his concept of a plan on tariffs.
It’s too confusing for him.
I want it to stay sprung forward, can’t remember if that’s DST or non. I feel like I’m in the minority, but fuck if I care if it’s dark in the morning I want sunlight for longer once I’m done working…
DST is sprung forward. It happens in the summer. Standard time is what the northern hemisphere is on now in the winter.
Fun fact. In the winter the sun is pretty close to its highest at Noon but I the summer that happens at 1:00 pm.
I suppose it makes some difference how far East to West you are in your timezone too, but this time of year I’m dark on my way to work and dark on my way home, if we were still in DST I’d have an hour of sunlight still after work. It’s only about 6 weeks that are that extreme for me but I’d still prefer DST. And I love the long summer nights when it’s light until almost 10 lol
Not just East to West but North to South too
The EU’s proposed DST abolishment proposal would go to permanent DST time, too.
Unfortunate that it has been in the back burner for so long. It would genuinely be a good boon for the EU tech industry to abolish DST lol.
Same. This was part of Rubio’s “Sunshine Protection” think a couple years back, but does NOT seem to be part of that Trump has discussed so far.
Good
“Oh, yum! I found a chocolate chip in this bucket of catshit that the ruling class is shoveling down my throat!”
I don’t know who chose that headlining image of him pointing (and looking) at the sun, but it’s perfect.
I’m imagining thousands of Americans doing the same and some shooting firearms at the sun too.
Didn’t that little rascal George Bush 2 try this and fail? Expecting the same results.
In other news, RFK has recommended extending this to eliminate both daylight and time.
This is one policy I would like to see followed through with.
Literally the only good idea he’s ever had.
Broken clock.
Twice a year?
This sucks because it means he absolutely definitely will not do this.
It’s just two weeks away bro, I swear
This was on the docket to be voted on in 2023 (i think, could have been 2022) and it never made it to the floor. Why? His cronies. They just let it fall by the side, probably so they could do it now. I’m so sick and tired of this shit show if a govt. Failed fucking state.
Seriously, this was suppose to have happened like five years ago!
This needs to be top comment. So many little things he does that sane people like are just things Republicans blocked until they could be the ones to do the thing.
Any state can abolish DST on its own, some have already done so.
There was a bill in Congress to put the entire country on permanent DST (which states can’t do on their own). It died because (a) some states don’t want permanent DST, and (b) doctors have found that permanent DST is less healthy than no DST.
In fact, Congress already tried permanent DST briefly in the 70s. Some children were killed in early morning traffic accidents, schools responded by shifting their winter hours later, and the public generally turned against it.
Besides impotently complaining about it on the internet, what else can we do about it?
Impotently complain harder
