The midterms are fast approaching, as is the “fall back” to Standard Time: that blissful-but-all-too-brief 4-month period in which our clocks & schedules align in a healthy way with our natural circadian rhythms, allowing us to flourish for 1/3 of the year until we “spring forward” back into the earthly hell known as “Daylight Savings.”
With the Orwellian-named “Sunshine Protection Act” (which Marco Rubio has been pushing since he was a Senator back in 2018 & which Donald Trump also vehemently supports) dangerously close to passing — the House has passed it, Trump supports it, & only a few Senators are holding it up at the moment — & with the “Fall Back” to Standard/Benevolent time coming in a few weeks, CJ decided to revisit the unhealthy absurdity known as DST.
Join CJ as he discusses:
- Some info on the pending evil called the “Sunshine Protection Act” [sic] that would make DST permanent, including some unhinged rants from Donald Trump in support of it, & overwhelming expert opinion in favor of ending the biannual time change, but in favor of Standard Time rather than DST
- Where the idea of biannual time changes & Daylight Savings Time (DST) came from historically. (Hint: As is usually the case with anything bad in the past 100 years, Woodrow Wilson bears some of the blame.)
- Some of the problems, costs, and even dangers of DST
- The origin of standardized time zones (which originated more in the private sector) as a contrasting case study
- The idea of DST as a rebellion against nature
