"..rational time worldwide"? Like all of China in one timezone and Mumbai :30 off center? and Arizona? and that one county in Idaho? I can't agree with any technical objections because there is already the need to account for all these bizarre details worldwide and even DST in the US changed in 2007. There is however strong data and evidence that every year in November when we set clocks back and hour traffic fatalities increase, crime increases, retail sales drop and depression increases. Avoiding that is good enough reason for me to support this. *Brandon Svec* On Tue, Mar 15, 2022 at 12:13 PM Jay R. Ashworth <jra () baylink com> wrote:
In a unanimous vote today, the US Senate approved a bill which would 1) Cancel DST permanently, and 2) Move every square inch of US territory 15 degrees to the east. My opinion of this ought to be obvious from my rhetoric. Hopefully, it will fail, because it's likely to be the end of rational time worldwide, and even if you do log in UTC, it will still make your life difficult. I'm poleaxed; I can't even decide which grounds to scream about this on... Hopefully, the House or the White House will be more coherent in their decision on this engineering construct.
