First of all, this is mischaracterizing what the point of daylight savings is. No one thinks the day gets longer or shorter.
Second of all, who is pitting the Indians against “the white man”?
Is it the Indians? I doubt it. I’m sure it was a white prog who made this meme.
Thirdly- funny how the reference is a blanket. You know this was a prog who made the meme. They can’t help but be stereotypical, having people neatly compartmentalized, like an apothecary cabinet full of identity politics.
Is that what Indians do? Make blankets?
Seriously, though, I’m more than a little sick and tired of the “white people are stupid and they suck” trope. There will be a backlash.
What I want to know is what the Government is going to do with all those warehouses full of daylight they’ve been saving up all these years.
I mean, they can’t let it out – it would drive global warming totally out of control.
How freaken stupid are you if you don’t know the origins of daylight savings?
When whitey first landed in the New World the Indians hadn’t even figured out the wheel yet.
“There will be a backlash.”
It’s already started.
Do farmers get up that early anymore? pretty sure they got lots of lighting options anyway. I see a lot of empty school buses too, do kids even ride the bus anymore?
It’s nice to have that “springs a comin” mood boost when we move forward in March though.
Well, white people might be ‘stooopid’ but most of todays’ advancements have been brought about by them.
Indian build small fire. Keep warm.
White man build big fire. Burn down forest.
Indian build small haunted house. Have fun.
White man build big haunted house. Shit ’em pants.
That was my favorite joke in 2nd grade.
We don’t observe it out here, it’s stoopid anyway.
White Man build telephone.
Indians invent tech support and Internet scams.
Also manage convenience stores.
And ‘Dubya’ and the idiots in Congress decided that extending daylight savings time an extra four weeks was going to save us from global warming.
DST is a good idea for most people. The parameters were carefully decided to give the greatest benefit with the least inconvenience. Extending DST increased inconvenience with little benefit. In the Spring, the early change to DST always brings with it a spike in auto-pedestrian and auto-bicycle deaths, as drivers newly accustomed to sunny morning commutes are plunged again into darkness.
Virtue-signalling kills.
Some Libby twerp thought about how he disliked Daylight Savings,and decided to be Popular, and blame White’s with his cardboard cut out a meme that takes liberties with Native Americans !!!
FAG Alert !
I hate DST and believe it should be discontinued. What ever benefit it was supposed to bring has long past.

Fur, LIVE the backlash every day, BE the backlash!
Funny, but (back in the 60s) when teachers explained the stupidity of “Daylight Savings Time” the example was “the old Indian woman” who cut off the top of the blanket and sewed it onto the other end to make it longer.
No shit. You could look it up.
izlamo delenda est …
Hey CZAR: Great comment. BE THE BACKLASH. Every day. Stop turning the other cheek. Also, be the backlash against characterizations of the stupid white MAN.
Yep, noble savage, we are that stupid. Now take your smallpox blanket.
Why do you ask, Two Dogs Fucking?
This DST bullshit has got to quit. The fall back, is not as bad as the spring forward, but they both screw me up for about a week. I sleep according to the amount of daylight, if it’s light out, I’m up. So in the fall as the days shorten, I actually sleep in a little. Now after the change, I’ll be up too early trying to be quiet, which ultimately wastes my time.
Living in Arizona we don’t have that crap.
The sun rises earlier in the summer, and stuff. Deal with it.
I don’t like messing with the time.
As Jim said in Tom Sawyer: “I wouldn’t resk it”
Here we are back with blankets and indians. These people seem to have something against blankets.
Again, firewater should be our go to extermination tool.

So, McCain has actually done something useful?
(Oh, come on! Give a war hero credit.)
“Seriously, though, I’m more than a little sick and tired of the “white people are stupid and they suck” trope.”
Agreed. What makes me sick is all the commercials on tv nowadays follow that same recipe. They depict the white people as the dumbasses and blacks as the smart people.

Standard time would be great for me except in the Winter but it would be nice to have the sun rise as early as 3-3:30 AM in the Summer when I’m out driving in Montana delivering flowers. I’m going back to work this next week, yahoo! I like early morning sunrises, the earlier the better for me since I’m a morning person which I got from my grandfather who was a farmer and was always up early and taught me to appreciate early mornings.
I’m retired. Time means very little to me. What day is it anyway?
Dark or light, I hate mornings.
I say we get rid of DST, but not all at once; phase it out over 12 years; each successive spring we set the clocks forward 5 minutes less, and each fall, set the clocks back 5 minutes less. I say this tongue-in-cheek, but I’ll bet Maxine Waters takes the idea and runs with it.
