Inconvenient’: Trump aims to end ‘costly’ daylight saving time in the US
The United States is one of the only countries in the world where people change their clocks twice per year.
Published On 13 Dec 202413 Dec 2024
United States President-elect Donald Trump has announced that he will endeavour to end daylight saving time, the practice of moving clocks forward during the summer to take advantage of longer daylight hours.
In a social media post on Friday, Trump said that the conservative Republican Party would “use its best efforts” to end the practice, which he criticised as inefficient.
…having waited impatiently for the legislated end of the daylight saving time shift in Washington State for over a decade now. (mussolini did not actually make the trains run on time)

Watch them fuck it up by choosing the worse of the two options.
The correct choice is standard time. It’s right there in the name. Also, p. sure that everyone who thinks summer time is the right choice and lives above the 30th parallel or so will really come to regret it around the first week of January when they realize they still have another like six weeks until the sun is even up before 8am. (Yes, it depends on where you live east-west, but.)

“two options” oh you sweet summer child.
There’s always the Chinese solution: the entire United States and its territories, from Maine to Guam, run on Washington DC time.
If that means some people get up with the sunrise at 3pm, that’s surely their problem and a small price to pay for removing a small inconvenience to running an empire.

I mean, obviously they could choose an option that’s even worse than the two obvious choices. If we’re going down that route, I vote “local noon everywhere”.

I mean, Trump already got picked…
But, sure, we already tried it in the 70s, but I’m sure this time will be different.

Almost as if this could be avoided by simply changing the clock twice a year…

All fucking Republicans too, by the look of it.

Yep. There has never been a Democrat as Director of the FBI.

Would that there was time for Biden to install one. And to make Tromp (try to?) fire that person.

Well, given what Manchin and Sinema just pulled, I think there’s zero chance Biden’s pick would be confirmed.

Or maybe we’re just better at diagnosing it? Why doesn’t anybody who’s “just asking questions” ever consider that?
This shouldn’t be a strange concept to Trump who famously wanted less COVID testing so there would be fewer cases. (Never mind that’s now how it actually works.)

I’d rather we keep daylight saving time and abolish standard time so we get some extra daylight here in the far northern states.
