alt Hacker NewsRegardless of where you stand on this issue, I hope we can all at least agree that implementing half daylight savings time (ie a 30 minute adjustment) is just stupid.
This idea was apparently introduced in a bill last month: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/7378...

Finally, Newfoundland was right all along. First as per usual
India also has half hour offset. & no DST
Not really. The equilibrium of removing daylight savings will result in schedules somewhere between DST and Standard Time. This just gets you there faster.
The trade off of having 30-minute time zone offsets probably isn't worth it, but this solution isn't immediately "stupid."
