Even when government tries to do something useful, they do it wrong.
The political criminals in DC have proposed getting rid of the stupid and deadly, twice-yearly clock re-setting. That's good... but the morons are proposing to stick with the worse clock setting: "Daylight saving" time.
Know what it doesn't do? Save any daylight. The daylight stays the same regardless of how badly you set your clocks. Smart, responsible people realize this fact and don't fiddle with other people's clocks.
By that (wildly incorrect) setting, the sun in this area will be at noon around 2PM during parts of the year.
I'm all for getting rid of the anachronistic superstitious practice of changing clock settings twice a year to beg the Sun for more daylight (even though it can't work). But not for imposing the less correct setting on everyone.
That's what you get when "morning people" get power. They always feel the need to force everyone to do things by their schedule. Instead of just opening their businesses an hour earlier, as would be honest, they want your clocks mis-set so it appears that they are opening (and closing) at a reasonable time. DST is a lie.
If they can do that, why can't we all just set our clocks to say the current "time" of 10AM is now 6AM? It makes exactly as much sense as what they propose to make permanent.
Who decided political criminals should have any say on setting clocks? It was a dumb mistake, whoever did it.
I completely agree. Rational people accommodate themselves, individually, to the actual cycles of the moving planet. It is NEVER prudent behavior to humor the arrogance and gall of egomaniacal power freaks, it just encourages them in further displays of unauthorized and unjustified tyranny.
ReplyDeleteThe law creating daylight savings time stated that the time could be changed back to 365 days standard time, but never to 365 days daylight savings time. Of course, no one today pays attention to the law. (or any law)
ReplyDeleteNot when it would prevent statists from doing something they want to do.
