  • This includes most of the US and Europe. The sun setting at 5 pm during the winter is normal.

    Most of the US is considerable more to the south than Europe. Remember that Naples, a city in the south of Europe, is on the same latitude as New York City, as city in the Northern part of the US. So you can’t easily transfer experiences regarding this from one to the other.

    It is just dark in the winter in large parts of Europe, and no amount of clock fiddling is going to change that.

    Where I live you can get tax exemptions for transportation costs if your distance from work exceeds a certain length.

    And no, it would only incentivise spread out suburbs in car centric countries. Which is basically the US (or North America?). It works fine here on account of public transpartion, without creating suburban sprawl.

    Also historically Nazi Germany fell because an incredible powerful alliance of countries fought long and hard to defeat them and in the end liberate Germany from fascism. That is one scenario we know will not happen with the US, because too many countries benefits from what is going on in the US right now.

    So exactly what kind of timeline that would make these American fascists need to flee is very unclear, as they are not going to voluntarily give up their position of power.
