Just a few apolitical things to consider here:
1. We already tried this back in 1974, when permanent DST had 79% public support per polling - but rapidly became unpopular after very late winter sunrises, and was cancelled within 2 years
Lindsey Graham was a neocon, but he was a patriot.
I didn't always agree with how he went about it, but he cared deeply about American dominance on the world stage.
He was a team player, and he always came through when we needed him to. Others have not been able to say the same.
And he did more for this country than the handful of so-called "BASED" anti-Trump grandstanders in Congress could ever dream of.
May he rest in peace, and may we pick a successor who embodies those positive qualities while still improving upon where he may have fallen short.
Today the U.S. FDA approved our medicine – the first and only gene therapy for genetic #hearingloss – signaling a new era where enabling 24/7 natural hearing is now possible. We are proud to make this available for free in the U.S.

Wow. This is big.
Researchers have created tiny devices called metajets that can be lifted and steered in multiple directions using lasers.
For the first time, optical propulsion systems can achieve true 3D maneuvering.
If this scales, it could make missions to Alpha Centauri, about 4.37 light years away, feel far less impossible.
Concepts built on this approach suggest spacecraft could reach speeds of up to 20% of the speed of light (0.2c), cutting travel time to roughly 20 years.
In other words, this could open the door to fuel-free, laser driven spacecraft capable of reaching another star within a human lifetime.
Trump just posted a screed that called India a "hellhole" country & says Indian and Chinese immigrants as "gangsters with laptops" who have "stepped on our flag."
"Used to be a great supporter of India until I opened my eyes up to what's going on here," claiming white people in America can no longer get jobs, especially in tech.
Call it for what it is: replacement.
Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.”
No, you didn’t.
You didn’t pay $2,200 for rent and $7 for eggs.
You didn’t graduate into $50K student debt and $0 job security.
Gen Z isn’t dramatic.
They’re drowning.
Aging and cancer are not inevitabilities, they are unsolved problems.
Soon we’ll see massive progress around them.
And once we solve aging and cancer, we’ll be far less likely to die from disease, maybe even reach a point where will be very few biological reasons left to die.
