No kidding, they are a fraction of the population who have no power at all and there's no goddamn reason the rest of us have to endure this stupidity because of the shittin' bastards.





Or maybe start the ****ing school day later. Do they really need to be out by 3:30 or whatever?

I mean the one argument for that I've seen that makes sense is it's better to have all the kids getting out of school before the commuting rush hour starts. Thought is to have all the kids home and not walking home or countless buses rolling around while all the adults are trying to get home too.

Maybe we can just push the whole day to start later I don't know. Would kind of suck to get home from work at 8 pm.

Lots of studies show that starting later is beneficial to the kids and they learn and retain more.

Bout damn time.

Interesting, looks like Arizona might always be Pacific time, or at least the article says "would allow AZ to be on standard time".

At least in terms of sports, I prefer Pacific time.

If they got time right the first time we would have the right time. Split it down the middle. Go a half hour between and restart time from there. Boom

They're going to school during the morning rush hour and they survive...or hey...keep them at school during that highly dangerous early evening rush hour traffic...maybe until 8 or so?

whatever, every damn kid has a smartphone these days, and every smartphone has a flashlight. Go stand out there in the dark you little punks, you'll be fine.

This is what we are worrying about.

There’s a lot of negative health effects of a yearly-scheduled change to circadian rhythm, and the elderly seem to be increasingly susceptible to health issues from circadian rhythm changes.

In other words, we have an issue here that’s not only screwing with the old farts in Congress but also their most consistent voting base, that already took a big hit with that virus thingy earlier.
