Pritzker claims he’s making college affordable to keep young people in Illinois.
Instead, ~50% leave the state for 4-year college because Illinois has some of the highest in-state tuition costs in the country. They head to Alabama, Tennessee, Arizona, or Florida, never come back, and their parents often follow.
Illinois loses young people more than 3x faster than the national average while higher ed spending rose more than $2B and enrollment fell by more than 100K.
@JBPritzker’s strategy for keeping young people in Illinois? Expanding state scholarships and in-state tuition for illegals.

@u_r_a_dickhead @Caruzkcab And don’t need to now. You just need to manage your time in the sun. The sun provides ultraviolet light which our bodies need and helps us produce the hormone vitamin D. Sunscreen blocks your body from producing one of its most vital nutrients
English
@Caruzkcab We also didn't need to wear sunscreen back in the 70s and 80s.

@RepGusBilirakis More usable daylight? Explain that please. Most of the working class want standard time. We want daylight in the morning. Why can't you people listen?
English
I'm honored to lead the charge to ditch the switch and make Daylight Saving Time permanent, which passed the House this week. It's time to end the outdated practice of changing our clocks twice a year and provide Americans with greater consistency, more usable daylight, and a schedule that better reflects the needs of today's families, workers, and businesses. I'm committed to getting this long-overdue legislation across the finish line.

@ArynneWexler Love your comedy. Would love to hear your pro data center points. Seems totally off brand for you.
English
For the people who suddenly learned about data centers in the last two weeks and have made it your mission to stop their development while still knowing basically nothing:
Congrats on falling for Chinese propaganda

@CynicalTrader82 If you’re for the VAX in your mind you’re for science. You should actually read something about the science of standard time and how it’s beneficial for our circadian rhythm. You can’t have it both ways you’re either for science or you’re not.
English
What's with the anti-vaxx crowd and their obsession with standard time?
I don't get it.

@shipwreckshow Come to the Chicago area in 15 years in the summer to experience the brood that emerges every 17 years. The volume of their chirping is astounding. They hang out for 17 years, emerge, have sex, lay eggs fit the next generation and then die.
English
I was today years old when I learned what a Cicadas Killer was. I only had to learn this because Neighbor Daves yard is FULL of them right now.
Turns out they are extremely large wasp looking bugs who's sole purpose in life is to hunt, lay their eggs in and eat Cicadas (which honestly sounds like a government conspiracy, like Panda bears)
They like good dirt with sand and good top soil which explains why they're in Daves yard and not my clay filled crab grass atrocity prairie.

You clearly do not watch soccer. Other than the rings, that’s the only new thing added to this World Cup. They had hydration breaks and Qatar as well. People from around the world have come to the United States and spoke glowingly about all of their experiences, along with the hospitality that they’ve experienced from our citizens.
English
Shoutout to the folks who do that little awkward jog when a car stops to let them cross. You’re not actually going any faster, but the effort is adorable. I see you. I respect you.
English
@VernBuchanan You clearly are a moron and have not done any research on the subject. Your cow towing to the businesses that need a longer daylight to make more money. This is clearly a business decision and not a health decision. Let me guess, you were in favor of the Covid shots as well.
English
Permanent daylight saving time brings many health, economic and lifestyle benefits.
I am proud of my bill, the Sunshine Protection Act, and the impact it will have on the lives of Americans nationwide.
English
@Dgingsz It’s no wonder that you’re depressed. Fix your circadian rhythm and get to bed ata reasonable time. Permanent daylight savings time is going going to make you take more SSRIs.

There is no perfect answer to the DST debate, this is how I see it:
Best option is permanent DST. Human body clock is much more suited to deal with darker mornings than 4PM sunsets, get more lights for kids at bus stops. Already have DST for 8 months a year
English
@MidwestGolfJake How could you leave out underwear. Nobody wants swamp ass for 8-10 hours.
English
My best tip for a 36 hole day...
Change your shoes, socks and shirt between 18s. You'll feel like a new human being!
English
Holy fuck he just threw Barack Obama under the bus.
This is really happening FOLKS.
Hold on to your hats.
English
@its_The_Dr How am I supposed to see what happened when you got song lyrics going across the video?
English
Wow what is it going to take? Do they need to start suspending Refs?
English
@clayandbuck @ClayTravis Why is there so much push for DST? All the data, science and information favors standard time.
English
End the clock changes forever. Just keep Daylight Saving Time year-round so we actually get light later in the evening.
No more dark 5pm winters or losing an hour of afternoon sun.
Pick permanent DST and be done with it. Who’s with me? @ClayTravis
English
@shipwreckshow More reason for not having permanent DST

Grok@grok
The campaign for permanent DST (Sunshine Protection Act, just passed House 308-117) is driven by: - **Business interests**: Retail, golf, tourism & leisure lobbies. Your JPMorgan link is spot-on — they found ~3.5% drop in daily card spending (esp. groceries -6%, fuel/retail) after DST ends due to less post-work daylight for shopping & activities. - **Politicians**: Led by Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-FL) & Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL). Strong push from President Trump, who backs it to end "ridiculous" clock changes & deliver more evening light (calls it a Republican win). Public fatigue with biannual switches helps (polls show ~2/3 want to stop changes; many prefer permanent DST for evenings). Health groups counter that permanent standard time is better for circadian health & winter morning safety. Senate up next.
English
@shipwreckshow You literally said it. It fucks with your circadian rhythm. Now put every American on that false time 365 days a year and you’ll fuck with their circadian rhythm every day of every year. Usually, you have pretty thorough research. You missed the boat on this one.
English
@SenTuberville Because maybe there are some same people in the Senate. Going to permanent daylight savings time is the absolute worst thing we could do.
English
Glad to see the House pass my bill to lock the clock.
President Trump supports it.
So what’s the hold up in the Senate?
Breaking911@Breaking911
BREAKING: The House has passed legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide, ending the twice-a-year clock changes by a 308-117 vote. Backed by President Trump, the bill now heads to the Senate. If approved and signed into law, Americans would no longer have to change their clocks.

@Moon_River05 @Phil_J_Tabor Most push button cars will give you a “key” to open the door in case your battery has died. Why can’t they have an optional place to physically start the car for this very reason?
English
@Phil_J_Tabor Well said!!!!!! It's the stupidest car invention EVER
English
The stupidest most insane RETARDED invention (yeah I said it!) is a push button start for your car. I dropped my car fob in a parking lot. Pieces scattered. I couldn't find the battery. I have a car with a full tank of gas and I couldn't start it because I didn't have a fob battery
