Daylight Saving to be made permanent

Well Jimmy Kimmel and his entire audience cheered this, which pretty much confirms my opinion

Which opinion might that be?
- Kimmel is a flack
- The audience is stupid.
- What the FUCK happened to late-night comedy?
There are more, of course.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Watching old Dave Letterman clips on Youtube followed by Jimmy Kimmel or one of those English blokes you chaps seem to love so much is really an eye opener.

Comedians have coined the term "clapter" for the phenomenon of an entertainer saying something virtuously giggly about politics, and the audience laughing/clapping not because it was funny but because it made a virtuous point. Those shows are all clapter these days, and the audiences are clapter audiences who aren't even acclimated to real humor anymore.
I haven't read this piece, but it's the first google result for "clapter":

Maybe not such a good idea. But I also don't buy the idea that switching times twice a year is bad for our health.

"Hello, everybody...." - screams of adulation.
"Anybody watch the Superbowl?" - roars of fucking inane cheering as though we've just won WW2

If the change in cycle causes you to have a heart attack, I think you were going to have a h art attack anyway.

Even Leno was funny.

This is for where I live. Imagine the left and right sides shifting up an hour. Yeah it would be dark until nearly 9am in Dec/Jan, but on the flip side it would be light until almost 6pm (instead of 5pm). Anyway...I have zero control over what will be decided, I'll find the benefits to either scenario, no point in grumbling.

Fast forward to when your kids are school aged.

Kids go to school too early. Known fact. Kids need more sleep.
As far as I can tell, the main reason the high school starts so ridiculously early is so that they can use the buses three times, once for each school. Having 16 year-olds go in at 7am is bloody stupid.
