#12>Sunshine Protection Act Jesus, does everything need to be hyperbolic virtue signaling. Won't someone please think of the children!
I would love someone to propose a bill that requires the elimination of hyperbolic virtue signaling from all future bills, perhaps as an additional step in whatever pipeline is used to produce bills.
Just need a hyperbolic virtue signaling name for it!

When did virtue signaling become a bad thing? If the goal of the act is to protect people's access to sunshine, why not say as much -- at least the act has a human readable name.

#14The hooray the Senate is saving our daylight I'm glad somebody is. Take care so much what would we ever do if they didn't save this daylight for us. Maybe they can take some and put it in a lock box for when we need it most.
Are you saying that there's a threat to our children from lack of adequate daylight? And I am just finding out about it now??

#15I love this. I'd even go as far as to support permanent double daylight saving time. Let's get those daylight hours in the evening where they can do some good!

#16Won’t take effect until 2023, but good to see it happen.

#17What does this mean in terms of short-term, real-world effect in the US?
Nothing. The guy who runs tzdata will be busy. Various things that hardcoded DST will break in six months. Hundreds of millions of people won't have a sleep disruption in the fall. Other countries may follow suit. Etc.

#19So are we permanently going to be on "{Eastern,Central,Mountain,Pacific} Daylight Time"? Or are we redefining the time zones "{Eastern,Central,Mountain,Pacific} Standard Time"?
Re: US Senate votes unanimously to make daylight savings time permanent
#20Hot take: permenant daylight time not permanent standard time because nightowls are more common than they used to be.
