Debate, Wednesday, October 19, 2016
"Good morning, everyone," Steve said, looking bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Whatever that meant. "Hope you enjoyed your vacation."
He ate a 50 ounce steak and then asked for dessert. The waitress probably still hadn't recovered.
One day he was going to end up in some sort of eating challenge and get kicked out for 'performance enhancing drugs'. And vitarays.
"Or at least enjoyed having some time off," Tony said, not at all bright eyed or bushy-tailed. That would take another cup of coffee, thanks. "Today we're going to go easy with a debate about the merits of daylight savings time. Which, if you're unfamiliar, is when we shift everything an hour forward or an hour backward depending on the season in order to get as much sunlight during usual work hours."
"Which is extremely important if you work outside," Steve said, nodding. "Like at the docks or farming or on the railroad or something."
It's not 1932 any more, Steve.
Tony nodded along in agreement with Actual Grandpa Steve Rogers. "In the past it was also used as a method of conserving energy. But it's not without it's detractors now that it causes health issues by upsetting sleep patterns."
Steve rolled his eyes a little at that. "People actually complain about that? In my day, it was two days you could pretend you overslept and missed church."
"Never change, Steve," Tony said, having to give him a deeply amused look for that. He took a breath and shook his head. "Research the subject a little and we'll begin."
