If Trump does nothing else in his next term, this alone would put him among the greats for me. I fucking hate the shift changes.
DST was instituted by TPTB to show us little people who is in charge. Any business or entity is free to change their hours of operation if they want. We don't need Big Brother to do it. The people who rammed this shit through need to be shot. The ones that are already dead need to be dug up and shot anyway. Ask me how I really feel...
Good. Leave it on standard time and done with this shit.
Y2K all over again!
Whatcha mean?
When the date went from 1999 to 2000, everyone was scrambling to reprogram legacy applications to handle 4 digit years. Now that Trump is considering stopping daylight saving time, I suspect a lot of systems will need code changes to stop automatic daylight time changes.
The end of society!
Hmm...not sure the world would "melt down" like y2k fears did, but it could fuck up shit being auto shifted an hour. I know Windows XP is still VERY prevalent in the wild.
Time zone compliance is a huge pain point in software development, and eliminating dst would simplify it greatly.
The moron wants to do the opposite and make it permanently “savings” time.
