So all the well-educated economists just magically ignored that knowledge?

Most probably thought they were talking about a TV series.

Pandemic consumer psychology was poorly mapped at the time.

Hadn't been a world pandemic since 1917, when trade was different.

> when it was obvious to anyone with a brain that [inflation wasn't transitory]

You can't predict the future, don't lie. Factory shutdown decisions in Asia probably had the biggest impact on inflation, and if you are claiming you could read all their minds...

Schools themselves should just have a period of "winter schedule" where they can get the earlier sunrise. It might confuse some, but DST already confuses some. It's better to shift school times than shift everyone's time.

Teens in particular are naturally shifted to later sleep and waking. Thinking back, I don't have much memory at all of high school before 2nd period. Not surprising, I was on my feet but still practically sleeping.

It was mostly people in northern states in the darkest days of winter.

I was in 2nd grade in the southern U.S. the year Nixon had us stay on DST for a while. My friends and I really enjoyed the change. It was dark(-ish) when we walked to the bus stop, but we got to take flashlights to school (much more exciting when you're 7 years old!).

You missed the key word "usable" Daylight hours while people are stuck in a dingy cubicle are not usable. Daylight hours after work are.

Well, I always thought Algol68 should have had more penetration. People said it was too complicated, but they hadn't seen modern C++.

I'm pretty certain a robot will be able to dig ditches

Should have instead installed Win`&*[BONK!]

This is just an Orange Power Grab. Donald doesn't care about efficiency, he cares about control, his control.

NASA and JPL already outsource many services to the private sector. Military aerospace contractors often end up with the contracts, I would note. Putting another layer of privatization is a recipe for grift.

Oh, but these are *preventative* wars. He gets a peace prize for every country he invades!

Venezuela was using fentanyl as a WMD. Iran was about to nuke us. Cuba might attack us with drones if someone provides them. Greenland might start a snowball fight, and make us look bad if we lose.

Presumably we've got all our best people on this, since they're obviously not on the UFO videos.

One of the "unidentifiable" objects in an earlier release (last year, I think) was obviously as hell two birds flying low over the ground.

I don't have a conspiracy theory to explain it, but this is all utter bullshit.
