It’s international women’s day but not international daylight saving. Not all countries do it and most who do have a different date
I blame Obama

The US saw one of the things they did followed the international standard and wouldn’t stand for it.

But daylight savings day is on March, 29. 🤔
And what does this strange word “international” mean?

We changed DST to steal an hour from them

Yes, but in this states it’s in three weeks…

In the rest of the world daylight saving day is last weekend of March, so women are respected additional hour.

After that final hour, respect returns to the normal amount.

This is literally George W. Bush’s fault, he’s the one who pushed the DST changes several weeks earlier in the spring and later in the fall in 2005.

Why not just do half day next day for schools so kids can stay up?

Hot take:
If DST still makes the evening on Halloween too bright, you actually don’t need DST.
