Even then the states don't really have control. Me and my friends can decide to do whatever we want. We listen to the government because it's hard to coordinate

Even then the states don't really have control. Me and my friends can decide to do whatever we want. We listen to the government because it's hard to coordinate and no one else has stepped up. No one really has any control.
- umanwizard 8y agoIn practice, yes they do have control. If Oregon decides tomorrow to officially give up DST, then everyone in Oregon would start using that new time zone. Not sure what point you’re making other than that in general, the existence of states depends on people recognizing them and following their rules, which is true but doesn’t have much to do with DST specifically.
- randyrand 8y agomy point is - unlike most rules though, there is no law forcing you to follow what the state decides for timing. it’s really not a state vs federal thing because neither enforces it. sure youd need to follow i it for state related hours, but that’s it.
