The feds are listening (and I ain’t mad about it)

You guys, I think the feds have been listening to me. And for once... it’s actually a GOOD thing!͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌ ͏ ‌   Hey Marilyn - it's Uncle Tommy... You guys, I think the feds have been listening to me. And for once... it’s actually a GOOD thing! No, really…you know I always send out an email twice a year complaining about setting the clocks ahead or behind. Yep, I’m talking about Daylight Savings Time--never made much sense to me and I always thought they should do away with it..and they finally are! Don’t believe me? Well, I just Googled it to make sure and found this: “Ahead of Daylight Saving Time, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) reintroduced the Sunshine Protection Act of 2023 for the 118th Congress. The legislation would end the antiquated practice of changing clocks twice a year.” And that was just a few days ago on March 5th, in an official press release! So hallelujah, it’s finally happening! The point of this email originally was to remind you to set your clocks an hour ahead this Sunday, March 12th. Losing an hour is tough and means a lot of people can lose sleep, but at least springing ahead means we get more hours of daylight. And I was going to remind you that we’re doing our annual Daylight Savings Time Sale because you might need to stock up on either Nice Dreams to help you recover form any lost sleep, or Good Vibes in case you need some extra “get up and go” in the mornings since you’ll essentially be getting up an hour earlier than usual. It’s the usual deal…you can go stock up on anything you need at [GetChongCBD.com]( and you’ll get 30% off everything and free shipping. Everything there is discounted at 30% off. Just use code DAYLIGHT at checkout. You can always get the combo pack [right here]( if that helps ya out. But then I had a realization… The ENTIRE reason we got onto Daylight Savings Time in the first place was for reasons that no longer apply! Daylight Savings Time was introduced in 1916 as an effort to conserve energy during World War I. And it kept going to help people like farmers who have to get outside and work the land and needed more usable hours of daylight instead of sleeping during the early morning hours. That was great for them, but in our modern day and age, all it does is just upset people who have to leave their offices in the dark at the end of the day. I’m glad the people in charge finally came to their senses! But it's kinda crazy that we can just "decide" what time it is, right?? Think about that for a second. Time is definitely real. It passes. It's later now than it was when you started reading this email... but as for the specific date and time... we just made it up. Julius Caesar just decided what the months of the year were 2500 years ago (that's where we get "July" from...) and then Caesar Augustus said "hold my honey wine" and created the month of August... (true story) And we've all just been rolling with it ever since. Few centuries back, Pope Pious (sweet name) added a few days to the calendar to sync up leap years... but other than that, we're all just running on Julius Caesar's schedule. Isn't that weird? We've all just decided to go along with something that is completely made up. Just this year South Korea officially synced their calendar with ours. (Not sure if you caught it, but it was in the news...) Suddenly, almost everyone in Korea magically became 1-2 years younger! (Hand to God...) That's pretty crazy if you ask me... (but very few people do, believe it or not...) So what other things have we been told by “The Man” that we just accept as true, but don’t make any sense? Things like expiration dates on bottles of water... (How can sealed water go bad?) Or, my personal favorite, when they put expiration dates on poison... Does that mean it's MORE poisonous, or LESS poisonous? I've got lots of these I'm gonna share over the next couple days, but I want to hear from YOU! What are some things that people in authority told you that you realized later were total hogwash…like your parents, grandparents, teachers, principals, government, whoever it was… If you’ve got something for me, hit Reply and start typin’...we’ll discuss your answers in my next few emails--this is gonna be fun! Keep on keepin’ on. Peace and love, Tommy Chong     [Facebook]( [Instagram]( Don't Want These Emails? All Good Man!
