don t let it go don t let it go skip to content home about amy contact older posts august 2 2026 2 15 pm the sunshine redistribution act on july 14 the house of representatives passed the sunshine protection act spa by a vote of 308 to 117 the bill would abolish the twice yearly clock change by imposing daylight saving time dst year round nationwide president trump has promised to sign it thankfully it has stalled in the senate where it has met opposition including senator tom cotton of arkansas who warning the bill would push winter sunrises to an absurdly late hour has urged leadership not to bring it to the floor good because before this bill goes any further its proponents should be made to answer a question they have so far dodged why should the clock be set away from the sun in the first place standard time isn t an arbitrary convention it is calibrated roughly to solar noon the moment the sun is highest in the sky it s the baseline the clock s honest report of where the sun is dst is the deviation a government mandated deliberate misstatement of solar time the burden of proof therefore rests on those who want the deviation at all much less to make it permanent including in the dead of winter when mornings are darkest tellingly the bill s drafters and supporters unable to meet their burden of proof resort to a familiar repertoire of fallacies first the bill s drafters tried to define the problem away the spa doesn t merely extend dst its text declares dst to be the new standard time that s not reform that s remaking the ruler to sanction deliberate bias in measurement second reliance on opinion polls yes majorities say they hate changing their clocks but should we stop the switching is a different question from which time convention should be permanent and the bill s supporters routinely conflate the two when pollsters force the choice the country splits more evenly moreover stated preferences for daylight time it turns out don t survive many long dark winter mornings we know because we already ran this experiment in 1974 responding to the energy crisis congress imposed nationwide permanent dst public support stood at 79 percent when the law took effect within a couple months after a january of pitch dark school bus stops sleepy eyed commutes and reports of children struck by cars in the morning blackness support collapsed to 42 percent congress repealed the scheme before the next winter the people who assure us today that americans will love permanent dst are asking us to believe that somehow it will be different this time third the name calling dst skeptics are dismissed as fusspots and luddites thwarting an extra hour of sunshine but there is no extra sunshine congress cannot legislate longer days any more than it can repeal winter every minute of evening light the spa protects is a minute confiscated from the morning the sunshine protection act protects zero minutes of sunshine it only moves them and the bill s name is designed to obscure where they came from fourth and silliest the wishful thinking confronted with the health and safety costs of dark winter mornings proponents breezily reply that everyone can simply adjust shift schedules wake later start school later set aside that no individual can adjust alone your schedule is chained to your employer s your children s schools the market s opening bell notice instead what the argument concedes if everyone shifted their schedules an hour later activity would simply re anchor to the sun and the cherished extra evening hour would evaporate the clock numbers would change life in the long term would not at which point one has to ask would dst s champions demand yet another hour argue about this topic long enough and you learn that the argument was never about the clock daylight is a form of wealth morning sunlight in particular is an asset for human health it synchronizes the human circadian clock which is why the american academy of sleep medicine and allied scientific bodies endorse permanent standard time not permanent dst researchers have observed worse health outcomes from sleep deficits to elevated disease rates on the western edges of time zones where clock time strays furthest from solar time morning light is also an asset for safety for children at bus stops workers on the early shift and commuters on icy roads the spa is a scheme to redistribute that wealth from the people least able to adjust schoolchildren tradesmen nurses anyone whose day starts early and isn t negotiable to evening industries that have lobbied for dst expansions for decades when congress extended dst in 1986 the golf industry alone projected a windfall in the hundreds of millions and retailers and convenience stores cheered alongside the other windfall recipients are those who prefer evening light and are willing to trade their health for it many without ever being aware there is a trade off since the bill s marketing insists the hour is free it isn t free nothing government redistributes ever is senator cotton last october put the stakes plainly permanent dst would make winter a dark and dismal time for millions of americans after the 2022 version of this bill slipped through the senate due to a staff miscommunication cotton has vowed to oppose any bill making dst permanent he should as should his colleagues of both parties let s end the biannual clock change but let s end it in the only direction the sun the science and recent history endorse permanent standard time the clock should tell the truth about where the sun is congress can t protect sunshine it can only redistribute it from your morning to someone else s evening until congress can advance permanent standard time legislation it should leave things as they are related the eleven inch foot about congress s lack of authority to regulate clock settings away from mean solar noon 1 comment filed under uncategorized tagged as dst health mental health news sleep june 30 2026 9 00 am at ms now the supreme court stood up for privacy but only to a point why the majority in chatrie v united states fourth amendment geofence warrant case reached the right result for the wrong reason and why it matters the supreme court held yesterday in chatrie v united states that the government conducted a search within the meaning of the fourth amendment when it acquired digital records about the cell phone location of a man accused of robbing a bank this means that police generally need a warrant to obtain your location information from a service provider like google but what this means for other types of private information or media held digitally by countless service providers we rely upon daily is all but clear at issue was whether law enforcement can use a geofence warrant to demand location information from google about customers here including okello chatrie whose phones happened to be near a crime scene the government s answer yes because once you share your location with google you have no fourth amendment interest in it and a warrant isn t required anyway the court disagreed privacy advocates are celebrating but justice elena kagan s majority opinion missed the opportunity to declare that a person s location data belongs to him even if it is stored on the servers at a company like google the majority calls the records his freely even likening them to chatrie s own emails and photos what it refuses to do is let that ownership decide the case and thus the privacy test stays what it has been since 1967 whether society is prepared to recognize a person s expectation of privacy as reasonable read more for free at ms now leave a comment filed under uncategorized may 19 2026 10 49 am my latest at the plf blog the supreme court s last best chance to stop the surveillance state when you text your doctor share your location with a rideshare app or use your credit card at checkout you aren t broadcasting your private life to the world you re sharing specific information for a specific purpose with a specific party you ve chosen to trust usually under terms of service that promise to keep it confidential you know this your service provider knows this the only institution in america that pretends not to know this is the federal government armed with a legal doctrine the supreme court erroneously expanded almost fifty years ago that doctrine is the third party doctrine the court now has a chance to return it to its original and proper scope in the case chatrie v united states which it is currently considering after oral argument last month it should seize that chance dragnet searches and supreme court precedent in 2019 the government obtained a geofence warrant a demand that google hand over location data on every user whose phone happened to be near the scene of a bank robbery not a suspect not a person connected to the crime by evidence every person in the area google searched its entire sensorvault database hundreds of millions of accounts and produced the results okello chatrie was among them the government relied on the third party doctrine to justify this dragnet search the doctrine was dramatically expanded without justification in two 1970s cases united states v miller and smith v maryland their holding was disarming in its simplicity and devastating in its consequences if you share information with a third party you forfeit any reasonable expectation of privacy in that information it doesn t matter that you shared it for a limited purpose or that your service provider contractually promised to protect it in the eyes of the law you might as well have shouted it through a megaphone from the highest mountaintop on worldwide livestream this was always a dubious proposition but in the digital age it s absurd your phone continuously communicates with cell towers your search queries exist in databases your emails and messages pass through servers to claim that all of this information is fair game for warrantless government access simply because a service provider processes or stores it is to say that the fourth amendment has nothing to offer the twenty first century read the rest at the plf blog leave a comment filed under uncategorized tagged as ai law news privacy technology older posts email subscription
