ARE,
ARE, DIDN'T OREGON PASS A LAW DOING AWAY WITH THE TIME
CHANGE?
CHANGE?
CHANGE? YOU ARE RIGHT, WE DID.
WE ARE JUST NOT ABIDING BY IT.
SUNDAY, OUR ANNUAL ANNOYING Q2
SPRING FORWARD.
SPRING FORWARD. MAKING MONDAY THE DAY YOU GO
BACK TO WORK TIRED AND CRANKY
BECAUSE YOU LOST AN HOUR OF
SLEEP.
SLEEP.
SLEEP. AWESOME.
AWESOME.
AWESOME. BUT WAIT, DIDN'T OREGON TAKE
CARE OF THIS ALREADY?
NO WE HAVE SOME NEW LAW?
WHAT'S THE DEAL?
AND HOW DID WE GET HERE?
IN 1966, CONGRESS PASSED THE
UNIFORM TIME ACT.
ESTABLISHING DAYLIGHT SAVING
TIME NATIONWIDE.
TIME NATIONWIDE. ORGAN, SLIDE DOGS THAT WE ARE,
WAS ALREADY ON BOARD.
HAVING DONE THE SAME THING FOUR
YEARS PRIOR.
YEARS PRIOR. THE IDEA TO TURN THE CLOCKS
FORWARD AND TURN THEM BACK.
BASICALLY, IT LETS HUMANS MAKE
BETTER USE OF THE DAILY.
AS THE SUN RISES AND SETS LATER
AND LATER THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER.
FUN FACT, THE OFFICIAL TIME
CHANGE ACTUALLY HAPPENS AT 2:00
A.M.
A.M.
A.M. YOU
A.M. YOU ARE ASLEEP AND YOU DON'T
CARE.
CARE.
CARE. IN
CARE. IN 2005, HAS EXTENDED THE
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME WINDOW
SCHEDULING US TO SPRING FORWARD
IN MARCH.
IN MARCH.
IN MARCH. AND FALL BACK IN NOVEMBER.
TO BE CLEAR, THROUGH ALL OF
THIS, PEOPLE UPON THE FREQUENT
SHIFTS, BUT, ANNOYING.
SOME STATES LIKE ARIZONA, DON'T
OBSERVE DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME AT
ALL.
ALL.
ALL. LAUGHTER, OREGON DECIDED TO
TAKE A PAGE OUT OF THE BOOK.
LAWMAKERS INSTEAD, PASS THE
BILL THAT KEEPS US ON DAYLIGHT
SAVING TIME YEAR-ROUND.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE SCHEDULE
USE DURING THE SUMMER WILL
BECOME OUR SCHEDULE ALL
THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
WE ARE NOT ALONE HERE.
WASHINGTON AND CALIFORNIA HAVE
PASSED HILLS AND BALLOT
MEASURES TO DO THE SAME THING.
THIS IS KEY, NONE OF US CAN
ACTUALLY MAKE THE SWITCH YET.
BECAUSE FOR THAT TO HAPPEN, WE
MEASLY WEST COAST DWELLERS NEED
APPROVAL FROM CONGRESS AND THE
PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT. IN SHORT, WE ARE STUCK IN
LEGISLATIVE LIMBO WAITING ON
