Standard Time "Fall Back" Just A Ploy

And, once again, you all fell for it.

Adieu, Daylight Saving Time.

Sure, you enjoyed your “extra” hour this morning.

At least, you think you did.

That’s what The Man wants.

But deep down inside, you know the score.

You know it waits.

It waits and it lurks.

Patiently.

Ever so patiently.

Sunday, March 8, 2026.

126 days from now.

It returns.

Once more, you’ll “spring ahead.”

That unnerving, soul-ripping sound you hear is The Man cackling.

At you.

And today’s “extra” hour.

That never, ever is.

And never, ever was.

Happy Standard Time, everyone.*

*Except Hawaii and most of Arizona. Carry on, you magnificent bastards.
