Trump vowed to end the nation's clock changes.

But like past politicians, he discovered: the politics of daylight-saving time are hard. And the GOP won't vote in lockstep with him.

FYI: set your clocks back an hour on Sunday.[image or embed]

Dotard Trumpf needs all the sleep he could get, so the one hour he gains tomorrow may be beneficial to him.

Stupid exercise in going along to get along, at the right time.
This morning I did turn the clocks back, but my computer and other links refused to do so, which kind of messed with my head at 3am.

I set mine back to 1933.

You're a bit ahead of schedule - we still gotta do 1929, then we can go on to 1933.

Remember, if you start to fall forward, spring back!

Daylight saving time: These states want to stop changing the clocks
www.newsnationnow.com

...As the calendar turns to November, so, too, will our clocks turn back to standard time as daylight saving (not savings) time comes to an end. Several states were hoping to avoid the second seasonal time change this year, but only two miss out on gaining an hour of sleep on Sunday.

In all but four states, lawmakers brought forth bills aimed at "locking the clocks." (Technically, the tally is 14; more on that in a moment.)

There remain bills in Congress that could put the U.S. on permanent daylight saving time or give states more power to observe it themselves. One even earned an aptly-named hearing that Cher may have appreciated, only for a recent effort to fast-track it to be thwarted. ...

Can't we just move it 30 minutes and be done.

If you wait long enough you don't have to change it. It magically becomes correct again.

Or maybe that is my wife changing them. I personally don't care. My "clock" is my body now. I don't wear a watch and I only need to be aware of Time if I have meet someone somewhere for something. And I let my AI on my phone schedule it.

It's a fringe benefit of being retired.

We're gonna need a new FDR to fix the mess.

It's too bad that most clocks change themselves now. We need a popular revolt against 'standard' time, it's way past time for year round DST.

If we all just refuse to change them, the government won't have a choice. But I'm not even sure how to disable the time change on my thermostat.
