**** daylight savings

We already saw what moms and dads not being able to send their kids to school did when COVID hit, business didn't start WFH until the parents couldn't send the kids to school. If school takes up at 9 don't expect mom to be at work until after 9.
The time is irrelevant things revolve around day light there is a big reason for that and it isn't something humans will just ignore struggle through. So if sun up is at 8:30 vs 7:30 expect in time everything will shift an hour.
Last weekend should be the last time change ever.
Keep it like this from now on.

I'm fully team standard time, but if it means we stop changing, whatever, the people who are wrong can win this one
Exactly. She wanted to get rid of DST entirely instead of going to it permanently. (things don't need to make sense to complain about it)
In high school and in my 20s...I loved winter time because of the darkness. The sun went down...the fun started! It is a personal thing I guess but I just like the darkness of night! City lights/street lights/not even sure why? That said...now that I am much older...I really don't care either way but I do kind of like change occasionally and changing the clock provides that. I find it crazy to think that some day my children will likely tell my grandchildren that we used to change the clock back and forth and they will think "why would you do that"!
Not effective until November 2023 so we've got to do this charade twice more.
Then “mom” might need to find other alternatives. There are plenty of ways to get our kids to school without a parent having to do it. It happens everyday.
Assuming the House passes it and the president signs it.
I know it sailed in the Senate. Not sure what those bodies will do.
Who knows. is the right answer. There was a big push for this in IL right before COVID, hasn't been heard from since.
Only once more if we stick to standard time like we should.

I'll be interested to see if public opinion changes like it did the last time we did away with time changes during the Nixon administration. It started out very popular, but public approval dropped by nearly 50 percent in less than a year and they ended the experiment.
Their first two albums are all-timers -- horn-driven late 60s/early 70s alt rock is the best.
They had solid output for many albums from there.
They eventually went some... well, forgettable places.... that we don't talk about.
I guess "Hard Habit to Break" is funny when you imagine it being about heroin.
Probably a bit different now as we have already extended DST over more of the year.
