New York has a bill to make daylight saving time permanent. But it only kicks in if Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Vermont do the same.
New Hampshire is waiting on Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Rhode Island. Delaware needs Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. And so on and so forth, and across the country we go.
You see the problem?
So many state leaders hate daylight saving time, but everyone’s waiting on everybody else to make a decision. I can’t think of a better allegory for modern government, often slow and sloppy, and usually still till they have to do something.
That’s why I bet we’re not going to stop changing our clocks.
Anytime soon.
