Daylight Saving Time Is Back. For The Love All That Is Holy – WHY???
Here we go again, time for our twice-annual nonsense that wrecks everybody for days after it occurs. Yep, it’s Daylight Saving Time – again. The question I have is “why?” Didn’t we all agree to abandon the ridiculous changing the clocks that we continue to do for no good reason?
At this point I do not care if we go to permanent Daylight Time or permanent Standard Time (though I do lean towards the latter), as long as just stop the nonsense.
I present to you once again – for the eighth year in a row – “Daylight Saving Time: How is this still a thing?” courtesy of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
And can we just admit that scientifically speaking, NO ACTUAL DAYLIGHT IS SAVED! We need this madness to stop. A bill to permanently end Daylight Saving Time this fall was passed by the Senate last year, but it needs a similar vote from the house before it can be signed into law by the president. Get moving, House!
