Sunshine Protection Act. When the worst person you know etc... (marco rubio)

I just spent all day thinking it was an hour later than it is. I was planning on going for a bike ride in the last hour of light so I waited till 5pm and went outside and it was dark already. Went back inside looked at the clock on the wall - 5pm - then checked my phone - 4pm - and remembered daylight savings time. It feels like mild jet lag twice a year and I think I would prefer no DLT. Orange man says he will sign it so if he wins the election it might be the only useful thing he does in 4 years.

As long as we stay on standard time and not daylight time. The sun being overhead at 1pm instead of noon is fucking nonsense

tfw people would rather redefine what noon means than readjust their business hours

Honestly, I think the only way DST will ever get yeeted is if Pissrael lobbies congress to get rid of it. Then it'll happen within 24 hours.
