I can totally support our troops, but I'm not up for paying to have a parade. Put that tax money towards actually supporting our troops, give them better health care and other support that they need.

I love vegetarian dishes, HOWEVER, I love bacon dishes more, along with steak, pork in general too, oh lamb is really yummy as well, wait don't forget seafood that is yummy as well. Actually, goat is really good as well. I do love some fresh Venison, elk, buffalo, alligator, snake, squirrel, rabbit. I didn't care for dog, cat or opossum. I guess vegetarian dishes are okay. -
And the US government has shut down... again.

We have seen ... worse proposals from the EU, like the "Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1677/88 of 15 June 1988 laying down quality standards for cucumbers" as a prominent example.
When you take a look back and know where it comes from (WW1, coal saving, longer firefights, yay...), well, bury it. Even from an IT point of view, the world would be a tiny bit better without it.

When Ben Franklin proposed it, it was actually as a joke. https://gizmodo.com/ben-franklins-daylight-saving-time-proposal-was-writte-1456363759
When our country adopted it, it was in 1918 when it was adopted. Which I don't get because electricity was beginning to spread wildly and the need for more daylight wasn't really true. Get rid of it I say.

"Well, they did it for the farmers." -Farmers work by the sun. The sun comes up, they go out to work. The sun goes down, they go home and go to bed. They don't care about "the official time".
