I mean your lived experience isn't automatically everyone else's. In farm country, no one wears a watch, it's dangerous. No one is hanging a wall clock in the kitchen. Food needs to be timed, as well as getting it on the table. Fun fact: a lot of us still prep a smaller meal between lunch and dinner, it generally coincides with UK tea time, or an hour earlier. Farm work is labor intensive and requires more calories. Please comprehend some people have different realities, different needs.

It's almost as if people should be paid enough and have enough PTO to live and enjoy it, as well as vote.

There are lakes, ponds and puddles that exist beyond any particular ocean, if you can grasp the analogy.

The worst part is, the average citizen anywhere in the world can not afford to do this. Only some other evil megacorporations

Doctors and scientists argue that standard time is better for our health. Our internal clock is better aligned with getting light in the morning, which, in turn, sets us up for better sleep cycles.

Obviously.

What? No. Noon is when the sun is directly overhead.

Amen. It's like cutting the foot off a blanket and sewing it to the top, imagining you have a longer blanket, to borrow an analogy.

So you can time food cooking.

That's a terrible dad joke. I giggle-snorted.

That just gets you across the Lady Styx, it doesn't guarantee your entrance to Hades.

For anyone interested, here is a list of Working Families Party candidates.

I think our friends and neighbors who are opposed to feeding a person who is hungry, despite the reasons, are coming from a scarcity mindset, and politicians don't really do much to discourage that, rather they stoke it. The earth is abundant, and there is plenty for everyone on it. It's a matter of not pouring out milk, smashing eggs, letting grain rot, letting crops rot in fields to keep prices artificially high, and logistics. That's all.

Absolutely. I can recognize the worst stereotypes of my race and stop behaving that way without heroizing or demonizing myself and my so called race
