DONT FORGET!
Clocks turn back this weekend, but the future of daylight saving time is far from settled

@TheNewsOwl keep hoping we someday turn back to standard time and stay there
@TheNewsOwl
UGHHHHHHH!!!! I know……..⏰😖but thx for reminder.
Get ready to leave work at dark, eat dinner in the dark, and feel ready to go to bed by 8, y’all.
@TanSuitPlease I actually like the time change. Dark winter nights snuggling in bed. @TheNewsOwl
@LiberalLibrarian @TheNewsOwl
oh dear, but it STILL would get dark around 6, without the time change…plenty of time to snuggle in bed, no?😉 #ToEachHisOwn🙂
@TanSuitPlease I want to say that when the time changes again in spring, that'll be it. We'll be on daylight savings all year. I believe a bill was passed in 2021. @TheNewsOwl
@TanSuitPlease Nope, I was wrong. The bill passed in the Senate, but hasn't been taken up by the House. @TheNewsOwl
@LiberalLibrarian @TheNewsOwl Aargh!! Guess the House wants more night snuggles??…
@LiberalLibrarian @TanSuitPlease @TheNewsOwl Last I read a few months back, it was assigned to committee for research. I hope it passes because I’m weary from this archaic practice. I believe much of Europe has done away with it so I can’t think Wall Street will be happy about the extra hour they’d have to wait for markets to open during DST, but I am not a trader so my opinion could be completely off base.
@LiberalLibrarian
🤞🤞
ps Enjoy starting your winter snuggles Sun. night!!
@LiberalLibrarian Are you outside the U.S,? The U.S. falls back next weekend.
@okika_hilo Yep, I'm in the US. Looking forward to next Sunday.
@LiberalLibrarian My mistake. It sounded like you thought it had fallen back this past weekend.
#crossedwires
@okika_hilo @LiberalLibrarian didn’t it change last year?
@Thumprhare Yes, it did. There's a bill which passed the Senate this year which would make daylight savings time year-round. But the bill hasn't been taken up by the House. @okika_hilo
@LiberalLibrarian @Thumprhare
Nope. NEXT weekend. You're early!
"This year, daylight saving time in the U.S. happens from March 13 at 2 a.m. to November 6 at 2 a.m. That means daylight saving time “ends” on the first Sunday of November."

@Thumprhare @LiberalLibrarian
No. They were talking about it, but they never made it official. Not yet. It's the night of Nov.6th.
@TheNewsOwl What? No it doesn't.
@TheNewsOwl I thought it changed next week 11/6?
@TheNewsOwl
prepare for GOP incoming rhetoric accordingly
