just fulfilling my destiny as a ball of wrath, hate, and despair. I take no prisoners. Also, a Russian bot when duty calls.
What do you think, should we make Daylight Saving Time permanent year-round, or Standard Time? This map shows what winter sunrise would look like in your area if DST is observed year-round. The Sunshine Protection Act would make Daylight Saving Time permanent with states able to opt out. The Act is expected to get a full House vote soon.
NO! Permanent DST would put Florida sunrise past 8am more than 3 months, later even than 8:35am. It cost Florida children’s lives when last tried! Ditch the switch with permanent Standard Time instead.
🚨🚨🚨Permanent DST or permanent standard time? Two bills are now in play. The House is voting next week on the Sunshine Protection Act — this locks us into permanent daylight saving time year-round. A new bipartisan bill just introduced (Sunshine for Our Kids Act) would instead make permanent standard time the default, ending the twice-yearly clock changes while still giving states flexibility. As I’ve said before: permanent DST is essentially the same as moving everyone to the western edge of their time zone. Morning sunlight arrives later on the clock. Multiple studies show higher rates of cancer and other health issues the farther west you live within a time zone — largely because morning light is far more important for setting our circadian rhythms than evening light. Sleep medicine experts strongly prefer permanent standard time for this reason. It better aligns our clocks with biology, especially for kids, mood, and overall health. We finally have a real choice. Which direction makes more sense to you? #DaylightSavingTime #CircadianHealth
