My hapless (Democrat, of course) member of Congress, Kevin Mullin, has been almost completely AWOL in fighting the Trump regime's outrages. Today, a few hours before the full House voted for permanent daylight savings time, his office sent a mass email asking whether it is a good idea. Hapless.
I'll just leave this here for perusal...
And, yes, I'm old enough to remember this. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
@dangillmor Permanent standard time, IMO. None of the drawbacks of DST, and no real drawbacks of it's own. In fact, if you look at the history, standard time was preferred until fairly recently.
Hey almost-neighbor! (I'm in District 11.)
Agreed that permanent DST is a good idea. Or permanent standard time, either way.
The "Contact Me" link in Mullin's email takes me to a sign-up form for his newsletter.
I hope a Democrat with a spine primaries this guy in 2028 -- they'll have my support.
@dangillmor whereabouts are you?
That guy is a flag looking for a breeze.
@dangillmor There go my people! Find out where they are headed so I may lead them.
(It *is* the right thing to do.)

@dangillmor
no it's just stupid faffing like DST itself. it's amazing how many people don't understand what clocks even are much less how they work.
Change seasonal schedules not the stupid ticky tocky things as was done before the whole DST silliness intruded on our lives.
