2) Move every square inch of US territory 15 degrees to the east.


Mind if I ask where you got this? Nowhere can I find an article or bill
referencing this specific point. This article
<https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/2022/03/15/us-senate-passes-bill-to-make-daylight-saving-time-permanent-what-it-means/>
references a Senate bill from March 9th 2021
<https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/623/text> that
makes no mention of this point at all.

Regards,
Peter

In a unanimous vote today, the US Senate approved a bill which would

1) Cancel DST permanently, and
2) Move every square inch of US territory 15 degrees to the east.

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.
