This measure should bring the government a lot of sympathy: In order not to drag out the year 2020 unnecessarily, the Bundestag voted today for an urgent motion, not all clocks in the course of the time change in the night from Saturday to Sunday an hour back, but rather an hour forward.
“We all want nothing more than that this shitty year is over as quickly as possible,” said Bundestag President Wolfgang Schäuble after the successful vote, which was carried out without a single dissenting vote. “Every hour that we have to endure less in 2020 is worth gold.”
By changing the time forwards instead of backwards, the year is actually shortened by two hours.
Historian Thomas Kleindl welcomes the government’s decision: “A lot can happen in two hours.” Possible events that mankind will save through the measure include:
– Alien attack on Berlin
– Volcanic eruption in the Ruhr area
– nationwide killer mole plague
– Modern Talking makes a comeback
– Eruption of a volcano from which alien killer moles pour out to the music of Modern Talking
Another advantage is that it is light two hours longer in the evening.
