“We have built up over 200 hours of this precious, life-giving resource,” said Bodman, noting that “the sun’s rays are not going to last forever.” “We have decided it would be most prudent not to squander this valuable daylight by distributing it to Americans, instead suggesting that they all just wake up a little earlier.” [ link ]
