Out of the Blue

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.

We've already passed legislation to do away with the clock changes but it won't happen until the US gets on board. Man, you don't have the metric system, you still have pennies and dollar bills as well. Get with the program! Still, I don't know why we're waiting on the US. How the hell is an hour going to make a difference? When I worked on the west coast we used to just deal with our east coast clients first and work backward to the west coast because of the time zones. A measly hour isn't going to upend everything. If you need to contact a business in another time zone you obviously do it when they're around regardless of what time it is where you are. I imagine if you had a referendum on it, people would overwhelmingly vote to do away with it. Pick a goddamned lane.
