Dear Federal Lawmakers:
Here we go again, tossing ourselves into a season of darkness that makes no sense whatsoever. Total darkness by 5 p.m.? No one, ladies and gentlemen, enjoys that slap in the face at the end of their workday. No one.
And look, 2026 is a campaign year. Even the worst lawnmaker could get some votes if he or she ran on doing away with this annual calamity that only induces negative reactions from typical human beings in dire need of something – anything – that’s not depressing. People aren’t as tough and rugged anymore, we guess. Or, at least, they’re not willing to fake it like the American people have for as long as we can remember.
It sucks.
So, when Daylight Saving Time officially goes back into place on March 8, 2026, let’s leave the “jump up” permanently in place. More sunlight would be better for our minds and for our bodies, and that’s why the U.S. Senate approved the Sunshine Protection Act in March 2022. Sadly, though, our employees on Capitol Hill seem more concerned with destroying each other instead of serving the people who pay them.
Instead, they should do the People’s work.
Sincerely,
The S.A.D. Society
