There is a highway near me where the limit is 55, but the average speed in the fast lanes is 70+.

I don't get it. This makes everyone a criminal. I isn't realize that 75+ would be a felony.

I think the point of the comic is that it is really depressing to hear this as a kid, in ways the teacher doesn't understand.

I was an environmental educator for a while and part time activist in college but I gave up.

It really seems like an intractable problem. But I recommend Kim Stanley Robinson's Ministry for the Future novel for a speculative fiction / near future grappling with how society might respond to a warming world.

Spoiler: it starts with a heat-wave natural disaster which radicalizes India into a rogue state, which then does geoengineering on its own, but this isn't enough by itself.

It's like Dropbox but instead of the cloud, it's at my house. Less expensive that way.

To further clarify, these states CAN ignore the federal DST and continue on with standard time, because that is legal under federal law.

They are not permitted to choose permanent DST or other types of non-standard time bc that is against federal law.
