Sunshine Protection Act

[Velo Vol]

Democratic leadership is AWOL.

I'm certainly glad that Congress is spending time dealing with these absolutely critical issues. After all, the nation isn't facing any real problems.

True. I mean daylight savings time is an absolutely critical issue facing all Americans. If we don’t fix the daylight savings time, it could very quickly become a disaster.

Our government is such a clown show.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Lol ok. Counseling? Even if so, 10mm would be a drop in the bucket compared to benefits for years to come.

Probably good for economies nationwide. People tend to go out and stay out later when it's still daylight.

Notoriously good for mental health too.

So a 1 hour difference has that much impact on the US? I hope you are joking.

 

[C-south]

Waiting to hear the dims say this will disproportionately affect minorities.

 

[RavinDave]

How long until AOC claims an extra hour of daylight will add millions upon millions of new watts to power grid through solar energy.

Won’t it?

I'd rather stay on standard time, but pretending like this was a huge time waster is the typical BS I'd expect from you. It was adopted by unanimous consent. I doubt any of them spent any time on it at all. Do you know if there were significant committee hearings that took up time for relevant issues? Or do you just want complain?

We do need to do away with the time change. But we should standardize on STANDARD time, not the stupid fiasco called Daylight Saving. Noon should be when the sun is at its highest elevation, with equal daylight before and after noon. All DST is is a command from the government to wake up an hour early every day. But so many Americans are actually confused and think that somehow a law can create more daylight

It was unanimous consent, but you already knew that because you're a Smart Guy.

I agree.

 

[OrangeTsar]

But then again, I would bet that less than a quarter of Congress can actually explain time zones, seasonal progressions, and the way time is measured.

Yea but you can never underestimate the stupidity of the people you support.

 

[clarksvol00]

Yea but you can never underestimate the stupidity of the people you support.

Or the stupidity of people who just want to argue about random stuff.

 

[C-south]

Or the stupidity if people who just want to argue about random stuff.

At least you’re somewhat self aware.

 

[clarksvol00]

At least you’re somewhat self aware.

Apparently you are not.

 

[C-south]

Apparently you are not.

I didn't quote you.

 

[clarksvol00]

I didn't quote you.

I guess.. you just replied to me. But you're a Smart Guy, so I guess you're right.

 

[Vol423]

Democratic leadership is AWOL an oxymoron.

FIFY

 

[C-south]

I guess.. you just replied to me. But you're a Smart Guy, so I guess you're right.

Maybe you’ll learn something.

 

[Vol423]

Won’t it?

I hope this was intended as a joke.

 

[clarksvol00]

Maybe you’ll learn something.

I'm always open to learning new things. I don't think you have the capacity to be a part of that.

Time is a racist construct of the misogynistic occupiers of stolen native lands.

Spending any amount of time on something like daylight savings time is ridiculous. But yeah continue to defend the ones you out in office.

And you are?

 

[clarksvol00]

And you are?

Smart Guy responds! Way to go, Smart Guy!

 

[volfanhill]

Those of you claiming this is about sleeping in are so misinformed it's crazy. You are also oblivious to how sleep works. No one gets to go to work an hour later.
