the bill would finally get rid of Daylight Savings Time. everyone was on board, and then the Democrats just didn't do anything about it.

    It does mean that, from our perspective, daylight appears to extend later in the day, though? That's the point?

      The extra sunlight comes from the time the sun is up but you're sleeping. It's there for the experiencing.

        Yes, I'm aware. But I'd like to come out of work and not have 15 minutes of sunlight left, and that's not something that comes down to my own choices

          Yeah but the clocks control when I do my activities more than the sun does

          :marx-joker: hmm i wonder why that is

          I want that sunlight to be after I get off work

          i sleep through the day and work at night so I forgot this was a problem for people tbh :biblically-accurate-kitty:

      Go to sleep earlier, get up earlier. Relative to the sun those would actually be at the same time anyway. Yes capitalism affects when you can do such things based on work schedule, but that's what needs to change, not the clocks.

        Yeah let's just hit the "change capitalism" button, because that's so much easier
