15 degrees east is Jay’s snarky way of describing permanently putting everyone on a timezone that was formerly applicable to a position roughly 15º east of their current position. In other words, Permanent Daylight Savings time. Owen

Also, your subject line reads “permanent DST”, but from your language the bill will be permanent standard time. I haven’t read the bill, but I’m hoping you can explain your position more clearly. -mel via cellOn Mar 15, 2022, at 3:13 PM, Jay R.

My opinion of this ought to be obvious from my rhetoric. Hopefully, it will fail, because it's likely to be the end of rational time worldwide, and even if you do log in UTC, it will still make your life difficult. I'm poleaxed; I can't even decide which grounds to scream about this on... Hopefully, the House or the White House will be more coherent in their decision on this engineering construct.
