Springing our clocks forward feels like it belongs to another century.
I’m Thomas Curwen, an enterprise and narrative reporter based in Southern California.
So once again we will rise a little more groggy, a little more grumpy and perhaps a little more puzzled. Didn’t we get rid of this archaic practice?In 2018, close to 60% of California voters decided to allow state legislators to make daylight saving time permanent: no more twice-a-year time changes, no more playing around with the circadian rhythms in our brains. But doing so; no state has the power to adopt year-round daylight saving time.
First, springing forward and falling back had nothing to do with farmers. “They don’t go by the clock,” he said. “They do their work when the sun is up and the moisture is right.” In 1966, Congress stepped in. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Uniform Time Act, which codified daylight saving time, requiring it to begin the last Sunday in April and end the last Sunday in October.
But then the lawyers stepped in. If California didn’t abide by the federal Uniform Time Act, Chu told me, the state could be sued, and today we live with that impasse.
