Lydon Baines Johnson.
That fucker is the author of so many things that fuck with my life and I just read that he's the cocksucker that signed off on daylight savings time.
FUCK!
We just need a bill that erases everything he did and I think we're going to be better off.
Possibly related: Have you noticed that we haven't won a war since we passed the uniform time act?
Also, we keep expanding the "savings" which doesn't really save a fucking thing. Most of the so-called benefit comes from the days getting longer because of the axial tilt of the planet and not because we fucked with the clocks.
If we'd left it alone we'd still be on Standard Time until April 27th.
Also also: We tried doing Daylight Saving Time year round for a year and four months from Jan 74 to April 75. It was a disaster. It even got some kids killed going to school in the dark. Dark? How could that be? Because the nights get longer even if the clocks are shifted because of the axial tilt of the planet.
(Spoiler alert) Getting to kill him was one of the greater pleasures I found in writing ‘The Lone Star, the Tricolor, and the Swastika’.
ReplyDeleteI always thought it was Woodrow Wilson who started it during World War One.
