To each their own, but calling it "shorting" employees for an make belief hour worked is some entitlement complex I won't begin to understand.

To each their own? Dude, if people worked the extra hour over daylight savings, they should get paid for it. That's not entitlement. AOC saying that people should ensure that they do get paid is a good *** thing to say. Very inoffensive at worst.

So, in other words, you think you should get paid and others too for an hour skipped?

Are you willing to work that extra hour and demand the same for hours when we go back an hour?

You're right though. It's not inoffensive at all. It's dumb and not logical.

That's not what it does and not what it was designed to do.

I've heard that in part it was a logistical thing before electronic communications existed, but I don't know that that really has anything to do with it.

What it does is take some power away from higher population states and gives it to lower population states.

That's a big reason why we have a House and a Senate. Smaller population states didn't want to join a union with larger population states if their power was only related to their populations. So Congressional representation is based on population but Senate representation is set at two per state. The EC votes are equal to the total number of Congressional representatives and Senators your state has. So it gives some extra power to lower population states. That is the purpose.

The question is if that is still beneficial to our society now?

Regarding the pre electronics communication part, one argument for it was that they didn't think they could trust the people to have a direct say in voting for president because there wasn't a way to keep them informed in a timely basis. This was in an era where delegates basically were selected by their states legislatures, not by popular vote.

You literally said no that's not what it does while explaining yes, that's what it does.
"What it does is take some power away from higher population states and gives it to lower population states."

Tyranny of the majority is different than states having different amounts of power...

I read the link. I don't get what you're trying to say. On Nov. 3rd I worked a 13.5hr shift instead of a 12.5hr shift. But I still only worked from 6pm to 6:30am, which is 12.5hrs.

Some companies might not automatically catch that. That's exactly what she said.

And there are times when I work the shift going to DST and not the one going out of DST and vice versa. So it's not an it'll all equal out kind of deal.
