What is the poll asking?

Whether or not I want Daylight Savings Time, or whether I want it to be scrapped?

if you want it to be scrapped like the topic said

I must be the only one who likes it.

It makes sense to align daylight hours to the times when people are most active outside, approximately 6AM to 9PM. As the seasons shift, keeping daylight in that frame is useful.

getting rid of daylight savings and having the sun rise at 4:30AM is not useful to anyone.

Keep it all the time or get rid of it completely. I don't really care which just stop this asinine bs practice.

There's a measure on the CA ballot to authorize the CA legislature to ask the feds to allow CA to have DST all year.
So it needs to pass on Tues. The legislature needs to get a two thirds vote in approval to ask the feds. Then congress need to say yes.

So it's a hail mary simply due to the CA legislature being fucking worthless morons that are already on record wanting to keep it the last time the issue was brought up because it's "quaint".

Apparently (based on one poll) a majority supports the CA ballot measure to ask for permanent DST, which is awesome.

If the US allowed states to have permanent DST, a lot of states would switch to it tbh

DST is 99% a state by state thing. DC and military are probably the only control the feds have.

btw, anyone in Florida excited for Atlantic time?

It really only matters for one hour a year, lol.

But in fairness, that one hour is super annoying.

Most people want to change to permanent in CA according to polls.
It's the state legislature that will shoot it down. Because they are stupid fucks. Really. The last time it got shot down as a bill in there the lead motherfucker to bring it down said he did so because he thought changing the clocks twice a year was "quaint" i.e. old timey and nice. That's the reason. That was the motherfucking reason it got shot down. All the rest of them are just as worthless and stupid. These people are just the absolute worst.

Alternatively, working hours could just adjust, as would have been the common sense thing to do from the start.

But I get to choose my own hours so I guess it's less of a hurdle for me.
