I'm Voting For This Foxy Lawmaker in South Dakota Who Wants Us To Permanently Be In Daylight Saving Time

Kelo - A Senate panel has approved a lawmaker’s push to make it permanently daylight saving time in South Dakota because she’s sick of changing her clocks. The committee sent the measure to the full Senate on Tuesday. Sen. Betty Olson’s bill says South Dakota “elects to reject standard time.” Olson says she and many of her neighbors are “darn sick” of switching clocks and having to adjust to the change. The Republican lawmaker says she prefers standard time, but her husband likes daylight saving time, so she went with that as a compromise in the bill. Republican Sen. Brock Greenfield says he doesn’t see the harm in more discussion. Greenfield pointedly noted that “the times have changed” since the inception of daylight saving time.

First things first before people yell at me- I’m pretty sure we want to stay in daylight savings time, and we don’t want to be in standard time. I looked it up, I read stuff, I was still confused. We want the time where it isn’t fucking dark at 3pm in the middle of December. That’s what we want. So I thinkkkk that’s Daylight Saving Time, but if it’s Standard Time, my bad. It’s confusing because we always hear about “get rid of daylight saving time” but what we really mean is “stop making us change our fucking clocks all the time”. DST is the name of the time of the year, while “Standard Time” is what we are in right now where it’s dark and miserable and nobody sees sunlight.

So now that I cleared up the confusion, join me in voting for representative Betty Olson of South Dakota for president. I love that she doesn’t even try to make a compelling, over the top, over-politicized argument for it. She simply is “darn sick” of changing her clocks twice a year. That’s laziness I can rally behind.

And really, who on this Earth doesn’t feel that way? We have people in Arizona and Indiana who have already rejected Standard Time. Let’s join them. This ain’t World War I anymore. We have no need for this clock changing bullshit. You know how nice it is in the Summer when the Sun doesn’t set til 8? Why don’t we try to milk that year-round? We already have enough depressed people as it is, let’s at least try to and get some sunlight into the working man’s life.

I vote for Betty Olson, stone cold fox city.
