Happy Standard Time to everyone who had to change their clocks today, as the end
of Daylight Saving Time is once again upon us. For a hot minute there it seemed
like there was momentum behind legislation to make the United States go with
permanent Daylight time, but that seems to have petered out. An
article on the Washington Post makes the
case for why Standard time is healthier for people than Daylight time, so maybe
permanent Standard time would be preferable. But I don't know anyone who thinks
that jacking the clock back and forth twice a year is working well, so hopefully this isn't the
last we've heard of this.

I'm in support of just sticking with Standard Time. Few are working the fields these days and the sun worshippers can piss up a rope. There have been numerous studies that show the deleterious effects that swapping back and forth have.
