**** daylight savings
- Thread starter Peter
- Start date
Pretty much dead in the senate is the rumours.
I’m just going to show up an hour late to work for half the year and do my own time.
Why though? I mean personally with me I’d like it to not be dark at 5pm during winter, but maybe there’s a reason some don’t want the change?
Because in exchange to get the 6pm sunset instead of the 5pm sunset you don't want, you'd get 8:45am sunrises in December-January.
Tell me you don't know how Washington works without telling me you don't know.
Because who gives a **** about an extra hour of daylight in January when it’s already cold, versus the sun literally rising until close to 9am. Millions of kids (elementary all the way through college) waiting for busses in darkness.

Well now… just send the bill back to the house and have them change the language so that an extra hour of daylight is added. There fixed it!
My timeframe there is a big arbitrary and probably too extreme and does "miss the point" a little for DST.
Maybe better is something like late April (which is was for a few years, then gradually shifted up to the current March changeover) then switch to standard maybe closer to end of November.
The main thing I don't like with the clock shift is it feels like an unnatural change with cadence of daylight, for lack of better description. Less and less daylight gradually in fall, you kind of absorb the decrease, then overnight "darkness" goes from like 6:30 p.m to 5:30 p.m.
Maybe if it changed a few weeks later, the early evening hours already are "dark" no matter what. Or maybe it wouldn't.
