    I ran into this as well and honestly just can’t believe it. Like, this is something my grandparent would think might happen and I’d laugh at how silly it is. Yet here we are.

      I’m 99% sure it’s because the website is hooked into ancient systems that need complete control over the data to process and update. So they run that part overnight to have up to date information for the next day.

        This is funny, but not true. The federal government turns off servers and electronics after business hours in accordance with power-saving measures enacted by President Jimmy Carter.

        Carter installed solar panels onto the White House in the late 70s, early 80s. Reagan came in and dismantled them.
