I hope everyone who wants to be on permanent DST experiences an eternity of the first day of spring forward, never rested again

    Kids don’t walk to school anymore

    What am I passing when I drive home every afternoon? Geese?

        OP didn’t back up their assertion with data. They don’t see kids; I do see kids. It’s all anecdotal.

        Quick searching shows a CDC survey from 2017 estimating that a little over 15% of American kids walk to school. More recent data would require more time to find than I have right now, but even if it’s as low as 1 in 10 now, that’s still not nothing.
