@Gfunk0000@MarkKohn15@EudaimoniaEsq I reposted people who have done a decent amount of research to know that dst disrupts circadian rhythm which has an adverse impact on health. Some basic investigation on your pre would allow you to see this.
Deportations get harder the less American the United States become. You have more and more people who view aggressive border enforcement, assimilation policies and deportations as directed against them - because they are. So if it can’t be pushed through now - probably never.
One of the dumbest things of all time. People are going to have an even harder time waking up in the morning during winter. Severe health issues will skyrocket with this kind of circadian rhythm disruption. Permanent STANDARD TIME
@EudaimoniaEsq Because dst negatively impact circadian rhythm and disrupted circadian rhythm has been shown to have adverse health outcomes including depression and mood
🚨🚨🚨🚨Today the U.S. House passed the Sunshine Protection Act, advancing legislation that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide.
This is the biggest legislative step this issue has taken in years but it is not law.
The bill now moves to the U.S. Senate, where there is still an opportunity for it to be debated, amended, or rejected. If you care about health and circadian biology, this is the time to speak up.
The scientific case against permanent DST has become increasingly strong:
• Morning light is the most powerful signal for synchronizing the human circadian clock.
• Permanent DST delays sunrise for much of the year, especially in winter, reducing exposure to morning light when our brains need it most.
• Later sunrises are associated with chronic circadian misalignment, sleep loss, poorer mood, reduced alertness, and increased cardiometabolic risk.
• Studies comparing western versus eastern portions of time zones consistently show worse health outcomes where people experience later sunrises despite sharing the same clock time.
• The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and numerous sleep and circadian experts recommend permanent Standard Time, not permanent DST, as the option that best aligns with human biology.
The argument for permanent DST is largely one of convenience and preference for lighter evenings. The argument for permanent Standard Time is one of physiology and public health.
If you believe our laws should reflect the best available scientific evidence, now is the time to respectfully contact your U.S. Senators. Tell them that while ending the twice-yearly clock changes is a worthy goal, permanent Daylight Saving Time is not the healthiest solution. Ask them instead to support permanent Standard Time, which preserves the morning light our circadian system depends on.
Please REPOST this. The Senate has not yet voted, and informed voices can still make a difference.
@LeaderJohnThune is the Senate majority leader that will determine when this legislation comes to the Senate for debate. He should know how you feel.
Verifiably false things almost every progressive believes.
1. Thousands of unarmed black men are killed by the police every year.
2. There is a transgender genocide happening right now in the United States.
3. Most black people don’t know how to get an ID.
4. Real Socialism hasn’t been tried.
5. The top 1% don’t pay tax or pay very little.
6. The progressive movement was responsible for ending segregation.
7. Most of the Democrats down south changed parties in the 60s or 70s.
8. Al Gore requested/wanted a full statewide recount in Florida in 2000.
9. Trump is a convicted rapist.
10. Trump called white supremacists fine people in Charlottesville in 2017.
Pretty fucking amazing that the Dems are just admitting that requiring proof of citizenship will cost them elections for years to come and we are all just sitting around like it’s no big deal and letting them get away with it.
