Did you remember to spring ahead?

Again it is that time of the year.
 
Mar 8, 2020 - Daylight Saving Time Started

When local standard time was about to reach
Sunday, March 8, 2020, 2:00:00 am clocks were turned forward 1 hour to
Sunday, March 8, 2020, 3:00:00 am local daylight time instead.

Sunrise and sunset were about 1 hour later on Mar 8, 2020 than the day before. There was more light in the evening.

Also called Spring Forward, Summer Time, and Daylight Savings Time.

Yup and some of Australia sprang back so their time jumped two hours relative to most of North America.

When are we going to discard this stupid habit?

What do computer based recorders do with a blank hour? Better yet, what do they do with the extra hour's data when the time goes back again? Lie about it and pretend it wasn't tossed?

Why have time zones at all? So we can all say we get up at 8 AM? Is having the same number so important we have to keep detailed databases full of human psychological nonsense?

There has been a lot of talk (no action though) about getting rid of the time adjustments twice a year in the last few years.
 
Many US State Legislators have pushed some action.  IE: hxxps://www.ncsl.org/research/transportation/daylight-savings-time-state-legislation.aspx



Not sure what has been done in Canada.
 
Personally though it should be a Federal change versus an individual State change.  But that is my opinion.
 
Thinking much of the push back has come from the transportation industry...planes , trains, ships, mass transit, et al and who pays for the resources involved.
 
IE: when broadcast television was mandated to go to HD, broadcasters objected to having to spend the monies to upgrade and wanted the FCC to pay for the updating.
