Doing my part to call out BS. Your opinions are not truth. “One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit.” Harry Frankfurt.
@GuntherEagleman Ilhan: “There is a nursing shortage predicted, so what we need is UNLIMITED publicly funded loans for graduate nursing students so that the universities can jack up their prices to a point that no nurse could ever pay their loan back.” I just can’t with these people.
@floridanick561@LeadingReport Florida can seek USDOT approval to switch itself into the Atlantic time zone, then it could opt to stay on Atlantic standard time with no clock change. This would effectively put Florida into permanent eastern dst. They haven’t done this because it is unpopular and unwise.
@floridanick561@LeadingReport It is how they want it. Twice as many Americans prefer permanent standard time to permanent dst. If Florida politicians applied to the DOT with a valid commercial case in favor of adopting Atlantic Time, they could achieve that least popular option.

@floridanick561@LeadingReport Yes. Time should be arranged so it is as “nice” as possible for Floridians. Anyway, you missed the point again. There is a way for Florida to do it now. Your politicians are hiding that from you because it’s bad policy to do it. They want to blame not doing it on the fed.
@floridanick561@LeadingReport You said Florida must to do it for “the convenience of commerce.” If that’s true, it could make a request to the DOT instead of waiting for federal law changes that are unlikely to occur. So why hasn’t Florida done it? Because its politicians have mollified you already.
@TheRealGAPeach3@Sadie_NC This only desirable to people who are ignorant about the human circadian rhythm. If anything is done other than adopting permanent standard time, we will know we have reached ignoramus critical mass.
@floridanick561@LeadingReport Sweetie, the Uniform Time Act makes it ILLEGAL for a state to adopt permanent DST. States can opt out of DST. Two have. If FL was serious and committed to having “permanent DST” for itself, it would do what’s in its immediate power. It is not. The vote was performative. A scam.
@floridanick561@LeadingReport So that law could not be enacted. It was illegal. There is one that could be. This is really not difficult to understand for people of at least average intelligence.
@floridanick561@LeadingReport “Let states like Florida pass their own laws.”
“OK. Florida can pass a law right now to adopting the Time Zone it prefers.”
“No. I want to force our irrational choice on everyone.”
That’s just stupid.
@floridanick561@LeadingReport If the majority of Floridians are stupid enough to want this, then Florida should just move itself into the Atlantic Time zone.
@floridanick561@LeadingReport This will only pass if ignorance has reached critical mass. This was already tried. All of the benefits were outweighed by the disadvantages. It was a massive failure and had to be repealed after one winter.
@tokyonosensei@RichardHanania All of that is irrelevant. Any reasonably worldly person knows B&H represents itself on the world stage as one country. She clearly thinks the viewers need her expert “explanation” of why two countries are competing as one. She absolutely did that because of sheer ignorance.
@PeterTatchell You were insensitive and intolerant because you thought she was? No need to apologize. You’re a liberal. Deep seated hypocrisy is a required trait.
@Deiscirt@neontaster All you had to do to find out was try to choke down one episode. Then, you would have known. It’s probably better that you found out secondhand. There is a serious risk of rapid brain cell death from direct exposure.
@neontaster These “influencers” are just the wannabe vapid actors and actresses who couldn’t make it in Hollywood. They can go undetected as morons as long as they stick to a script. When try to ad lib or interject their own thoughts, that’s when they get exposed as imbeciles.
