       Fellow Washingtonians: Despite passage 4yrs ago, the move to DST year-round has gone nowhere due to the need for Congressional approval. To avoid the approval step, a bill has been pre-filed for the next WA leg session to permanently adopt Standard Time in the state of Washington. If, like me, you think this is a fantastic idea, let your legislators know that you support the bill here: https://app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/5795Fingers crossed that it passes!#WashingtonPolitics #EndDST #StopTimeChanges

       @c20d Has everyone forgotten that year-round daylight saving time was tried during the Nixon administration? It was a disaster and quickly repealed.  https://time.com/6157915/daylight-saving-time-history/

       @khm @c20d Apparently you never had the experience of going to school in pitch darkness. I did. It's a terrible idea.

       @BruceMirken @khm @c20d It just means you have to adjust the schools opening and closing hours for the only time where sunlight is scarce: Winter.Might not even need adjustments for other seasons except maybe more schooling hours, doing a timeshift makes zero sense, seasons themselves don't do a timeshift.

       @BruceMirken @c20d I went to school in a place so rural I had an hour and twenty minute commute each way, on multiple buses.  Given extracirriculars I frequently would leave in the dark and get home in the dark.  Not once did I decide the right answer was to dick with the clocks in order to make my life convenient.  On the other hand, not once did anyone give me any justification for starting school so goddamn early.  People are trying to fix the wrong problem here.
