NgeCawe ngo-2: 00 AM, kufanelekile ukuba sibeke iiwotshi zethu phambili. Akukho mntu uyenzayo le nto nge-2 kusasa, siyayenza ngobusuku obungaphambili okanye, ngokunokwenzeka, sisete ngokuthe chu ii-microwaves kunye neemoto zewotshi kwiintsuku ezilandelayo emva kokuba iifowuni zethu zizisete kwakhona. Kuyingxaki kwaye siphulukana neyure yexesha lethu elixabisekileyo kwaye unyaka nonyaka kufuneka sibuze: kutheni ixesha lokonga emini iseyinto ???
Kukho ingxoxo malunga nokuba ngubani owokuqala owacinga ngolu luvo. UBenjamin Franklin ecetywayo ukubeka iiwotshi phambili yonke indlela ngo-1785, ngelixa iNew Zealander Entomologist uGeorge Hudson wayicebisa ngo-1895, kwaza emva koko eliNgesi uWilliam Willet ngo-1907.
Umbono wokuba ukukhanya kwemini kuchithwe ngokungahambi kwelanga emva kweyure kwakudumile, ngakumbi kwezolimo. Kwaye ixesha lasehlotyeni okanye ixesha lokonga emini lalicwangcisiwe kumazwe ahlukeneyo kwinkulungwane yamashumi amabini. Apha e-US, sasicotha ukukwamkela, ukuyenza umthetho welizwe ngo-1918, emva kweKhanada kunye namanye amazwe aseYurophu.
Ukugcina ukukhanya kujikeleze ixesha elide ngumbono olungileyo. Ixesha elilinganiswe ngeeyure kunye nemihla lulwakhiwo lomntu olungenantlonelo, ke ngubani okhathalayo xa sisithi kusemini. Yintoni erhuqayo kodwa kukuya nokubuya kwaye ayenzi ukuba ixesha lokonga iMini lisisigxina.
Ayisiyiyo nje into yokuba i-DST iyacaphukisa nangona, kukho indleko yokwenyani kubantu abaphulukana neyure yokulala kwaye ilizwe liphela kufuneka lilungelelanise iindlela zabo kunye nesingqisho se-circadian kabini ngonyaka. Ezo ndleko ziyinyani. Isiqwenga sika-2014 kwiNew York Times icaphule ukutsiba kweepesenti ezi-6 kwiindawo zempangelo kwiinkampani zemigodi emva kotshintsho lwentwasahlobo ukuya kwiXesha lokonga iMini, eliguqulela ukusebenza kunye nemali ephulukene noqoqosho. Kukho zonke iintlobo zeendleko kwilizwe ngokwenza abantu badinwe kwaye badideke iveki.
Amazwe ahlukeneyo eme ngenkani kugonyamelo lokutshintsha iwotshi. IWashington ivotele ukuyenza isigxina. Nawe wenze njalo California . Kwaye Oregon . EMaryland unomthetho kwimisebenzi. Kwaye zininzi Amazwe amaninzi ajoyina . Ke kutheni singabeki iiwotshi phambili kule mpelaveki kwaye sizigcine phambili? Ngenxa yokucaphuka okungapheliyo, umthetho womanyano, ngoku ovumela amazwe ukuba aphume kwaye ahlale ngexesha eliqhelekileyo, okanye enze into etshintshayo. Boo.
Iyavakala, ndiyaqikelela, ukuba ukwenza ixesha lokuGcinwa kwemini ngokusisigxina kuya kufuna ukuba ibe sisigqibo somdibaniso kuba ukuba kwindawo enye engahambelani nokugcinwa kwabo kungabaphazamisa kwaye kuyabacaphukisa. UMarco Rubio wabo bonke abantu uphakamise umthetho oyilwayo wokwenza i-DST isigxina kwaye tshixa iwotshi , kodwa njengakwezona zinto zininzi kwiCongress, iyanqanyulwa.
Kodwa ayifanelanga ukuba njalo. Ukwenza i-DST isigxina inokuba yenye yezinto ezimbalwa omabini amacala epaseji angavumelana ngayo, ke ngoku sinethemba lokuba umthetho oyilwayo ufumana ingqwalaselo kunye nentshukumo njengoko sibuyela kwixesha lokonga emini kule mpelaveki. Ngethemba, akusayi kufuneka sibuyele umva kwakhona.
Ngaba ufuna amanye amabali anje? Yiba ngumbhalisi kwaye uxhase indawo!
