I hope everyone who wants to be on permanent DST experiences an eternity of the first day of spring forward, never rested again

    It’s pretty obvious the American government doesn’t care about its citizens health. Sick citizens = more shareholder profits for their scam corporations

      It screws corporations as well, anyone that has a database or deals with time in any way. I’d call it a huge hazard technilogically to willy nilly change the time for no reason.

        We have been changing the time for 70+ years. Nothing about it is Willy nilly. There is a reason. The reason may invalid at this point.

        This same bullshit could be said about jetlag simply moving to a different time zone has worse effects than a single hour shift, yet many people do it 10s if not hundreds of times a year.

        It’s so stupid to argue about this whole thing from a health perspective and using that as if its some kind of disease.

        So stupid

          If there were two days a year that 300 million people took a flight that gave them all jetlag simultaneously, you’d probably tell them to stop though, right?
