Lewis Black | The Rant Is Due best of Daylight Saving Time

A second referendum - some years later - saw a the same result, i.e. the people didn’t want daylight saving but the government did.

It's actually called Daylight Saving Time even though no one ever says it correctly. Both the name and the time change need to go.

[@CatholicTraditional]

Since 2006, it’s really been called “Winter Time” when we fall back, because we spring forward the 2nd weekend of March and don’t switch to historic Standard Time until the 1st Sunday of Nov. Historically, until 1985, it used to be exactly 6 months ST, 6 months DST, from the last weekend of April until the last weekend of October. In 1986 the spring forward was moved up to the 1st Sunday of April. I personally would stay on DST year round because I’d rather it dark at 5PM in December than 4PM like it always does (public safety issue). I’d rather have the extra hour of daylight at the end of the day. I’d rather squint in the morning than be greeted to blaring sunshine!

[@victorrutledge257]

When i was a child, I inquired of my parents, (Both with graduate degrees, at the time) "Why do we change the clocks, twice a year?" They explained that it went back to WWII, when the mercantile system needed to encourage more consumer spending, and those in power thought that more light, after work, would help. It did, initially, and so the process became standard. (I'm autistic savant, and so this made a sort of sense, at the time) As I grew older, I realized that the time in which such a procedure would generate profit had long passed. It was a case of the activity having been useful, for a couple of decades, but the usefulness faded. The procedure did not. If we don't put an end to daylight savings time, then how about this? When the clocks change, so do all of our activities. Things that opened at seven, now open at eight, or the reverse, for Widdershins when things opening at eight, open instead at seven. The same with going to work, and school, and even church. (many people still go to church, even though they know that God is pissed off at Humanity, and just sits with his arms folded, waiting for someone to notice) This wouldn't solve all the problems, but it would make everyone see how totally fucked to tears the activity remains. It would open the eyes of the "silent majority" to notice that changing when you did stuff, twice a year, is easier than changing the time and trying to adjust to the fuck-for-brains idea which some illiterate fuckers thought of, back when the Second World War was the news of the day. Surprise, Motherfuckers! World War Two is OVER! We no longer need scrap drives, and meatless tuesdays. Well maybe we still need those things, but the reasons have changed. So, in conclusion, if you want Daylight Savings Time, try this... Find a point for it. Come up with a reason it should exist. Otherwise just end it and get over the Second World War!

[@Vickvineager]

well yes. They indirectly are. How do you think the self employed are able to pay for said expenses & their own retirement ls. Taxes on the other hand is their (the self employed individuals) own responsibility. Self employment is a mixed bag. You have good years & not so good years. I just love people who say “I’m self employed, it’s the greatest. I get to work whenever, however I want” but they don’t realize that their customers who call them to do a job, are their employers.

[@ZombieBarioth]

@@Vickvineager If customers were employers then they would have to adhere to the same legal obligations as one, making them directly responsible. They don't, so why should they expect to be treated as though they do? That mentality comes from a rule of thumb pushed upon employees by upper management that don't have to deal with the repercussions. Businesses aren't obligated to serve any more than customers are to be patrons.

[@Vickvineager]

Thus, I found myself waking up to the radio switching on to an intro to the song, Love in an Elevator, by Aerosmith. The intro was a lady saying, "Good morning Mr. Leach. Going down?"

Question asked: If daylight saving time was never invented, what year would we possibly be in? My answer: Great question. The Uniform Time Act was passed by Congress in 1966 (52 years ago) after television broadcasters lobbied them (Congress is not always that smart to do much on their own) for scheduling tv shows. Daylight Savings Time was invented long before 1966 however it wasn’t uniform across the country so I’ll calculate it based on uniformity. In answering your question based on today’s date of Sunday, October 28, 2018 at 9:00 A.M., when the clocks change next weekend in the states where DST is recognized, they will fall back one hour. Since 1966, that’s 52 hours you have had to repeat, or in other words 52 hours in the negative direction. If DST wasn’t invented, it would currently be Tuesday, October 30, 2018 at 1:00 P.M. You would be late to work two days in a row and are probably already fired. And since you didn’t get up in time, your dog peed in your living room on the couch. Not all is lost, cause in the spring the clocks spring forward. Since 1966, that’s 52 hours you skipped in the positive direction. It DST wasn’t invented, it would currently be Friday, October 25, 2018 at 5:00 A.M. You would have the whole weekend ahead of you to learn some basics. You missed church and the Red Sox coming from behind and beating the Dodgers last night. So alas, since you lost 52 hours and gained 52 hours since 1966, for most of us the current year is 2018, however in your case, you’re still in 1966 which is a good thing. You can now pay more attention in school and learn some simple thinking skills. And quit watching Bewitched, Batman and Get Smart on tv!

Or re-arrange the whole calendar altogether. Why have one month with 28 days but seven with 31 days? Shorten January and March by one day and make February a regular 30-day month.

[@ShawnRavenfire]

@@einundsiebenziger5488 I've got a better idea. Make each month 28 days long, and add a 13th month. That way, every month will divide into four weeks. (Of course, we'll have to add one extra day to the end of the year, but we could just count that as a three-day weekend.)

He's got it backward though. When we spring forward we are going back to standard time. It's the extra hour they give you in the fall that needs to go away.

The biggest thing I hate about daylight savings is when we lose an hour it gets darker fucking earlier.. then when you get off work you can't do shit.

I hate daylight saving time. Farming has nothing to do with it.

An old indian explained daylight savings time as such: You cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of the blanket and think the blanket is a foot longer.

[@armenthamurphy4606]

With all the day light we have saved we should be able to light the world at least for the next one hundred years.

[@zogar8526]

There was a time when it made at least a little sense. It helped I think in WW1 or something is around when it got widely used and started to become the norm. It was never meant to be pernment or anything thing like that, just an emergency measure. Buy it does nothing now and is just a tradition. And it does have some issues like negative health effects. It should go.

[@AbolitionistPrivateer]

It didn't even make sense then--it was just that a few ignorant bureaucrats were dumb enough to buy into it, and they forced it on everyone. And bureaucrats can never admit to being wrong. Government is an evil religious cult.

[@zogar8526]

@@jorgegonzalez-larramendi5491 Well, I mean I guess it kind of is like that in some ways .Except that daylight savings had a kind of legit reason behind it at first and could of possibly helped in a tiny way. Mean while, cutting taxes on the ultrarich never did. That was all pure lie, and they also knew it.

[@AbolitionistPrivateer]

@@jorgegonzalez-larramendi5491 Taxation is theft. Of course, the ultra-rich are usually the biggest welfare whores, so I'm not terribly concerned about defending them from theft. And it's no surprise that the thieving priests of the evil government cult will find more than one way to pay off their backers.

I have a solution to the Daylight savings time. We set our clocks forward or back every month by 10 minutes. Think about it the first weekend of the month you reset your clocks, by the end of each month you only have to lose or gain ten minutes every month, but it will result in total freaking chaos. No one will be on time to work or school!
