Fingers crossed that this gives us an extra hour of sunshine after work instead of before. It’s so depressing to leave the office at 4pm and it’s already dark out.
No.
You make be spring forward and I’m owed my motherfucking fall back. I’ll take up arms to defend that stance.
Fall back is nice but we should just change the time whimsically instead.
What if instead of one hour in the fall you randomly got 8?
You could technically get 582 hours of overtime in one shift in some states depending on the change.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but permanent daylight time is bad for public health.
One link to a research article from 1974 about fuel usage. One link to an article about the change between time offset being a problem. No substantiation for other claims. This article is practically an editorial.
Eliminating vaccines is also bad for public health. Let’s not fool ourselves into thinking this is a component of the decision.
That said, I’m also sus of that position. There are plenty of healthy societies that live much further north of the us population centers.
