Changing the way we change time

My European friends did it last weekend, and this Saturday, we’ll replicate the same routine by moving our clocks back one hour, so we lose some of the precious sleep we’re entitled to, in order to satisfy an outmoded and unwarranted bureaucratic rule.

Well, there’s a small glimmer of hope though, last March, the US Senate passed legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent starting in 2023, ending the annoying twice-annual routine to allegedly promote longer afternoons and increase business. 

Now, it’s the turn of our House of Representatives to act, but it still seems divided on a bunch of issues, included whether it would be better to eliminate the change of clocks and decide between the regular time or go with daylight saving permanently. 

Once more, by the time the House get its act together, President Biden might be dead while in office or Elon Musk might veto the act altogether!
