    The year is 2026, and the US government bickers over what time it is and minimum wage is less than eight dollars an hour and corporations are people and JUST END IT

      Come on man, this is like the one sane thing they’re doing right now. Do you really need to talk shit about it? Advancing a bill doesn’t mean they are arguing. This is them doing something for once that isn’t insane and bad for everyone.

      I mean just because minimum wage is too low doesn’t mean we shouldn’t change to permanent daylight savings.

      A government can (and, depending on the size of the country it administrates, has) do many things at once. Pursuing one topic shouldn’t necessarily come at the detriment of others.

      The problem is that representatives and lawmakers ignore or block those other things and waste time buddying up with corporate dragons instead of actually dealing with all the things that ought to be deliberated and decided.
