House passes bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent

Kids wait for the bus in the dark already. This will be nothing new. I did as a kid in the North. My kids did here in the South.

The proper question is why does the federal government have any say in the time anyway. Its a clear over-reach they started in 1918 due to "war". Just one more power grab during war they never gave up.
This is absolutely the wrong way to think about the matter. I am more against government overreach than most, but time schemes need to be uniform to work. They need to be governed. They maybe even need to be enforced. I don’t think this libertarian question has merit.
 
I have the perfect high-tech BITOG-inspired solution ...

Why don't we develop a oil-pressure driven, variable drive system for clocks? It could "advance" the clocks (at a rate of 10 minutes per month) for six months, and then "retard" the clocks for 6 months (at a rate of 10 minutes per month) .... We can call it "VCT" (variable clock timing) !!!

Of course, it would be viscosity dependent; only accurate with 0w-20 "fully synthetic" oil ... 😜




P.S. ... how long before AI grabs this idea and runs with it?
