Is it daylight savings time or daylight saving time?
Whatever you call it, this weekend we’ll “fall back” to standard time, and it will suddenly feel like it gets dark very early. One listener wants to know: What if we didn’t? We’re tackling that question and many more from you all on this Whadda Ya Wanna Know Wednesday. Also on the docket: air travel, polling data and commercial real estate.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- “Many Americans are wary of polling data, but here’s what can be trusted from the latest numbers” from CNBC
- “Can we trust the polls?” from the New Yorker
- “A peculiar way to pick a president” from The New York Times
- “US airline employees report lower rate of COVID-19 infection than public, CEOs say” from ABC News
- “Should daylight saving time be made permanent? Why health experts say no” from Today
- “L.A. office leasing feels the COVID effect” from the LA Times
