Move the clocks ahead one more time then leave it there.
I agree. I love Daylight Savings Time… it’s the regular time the other half of the year that I don’t care for.
Yeah, hopefully they get that straight before they doom us all to late afternoon darkness, permanently.
This 👆👆👆👆👆.
Ugh, no. Leave it normal time. If people like sunlight so much, go to work earlier. I hate it when it's light at 9:30 at night.
Same. And here in northern IN if we stayed on DST all winter the kids would go to school in pitch black and it would still be dark by supper time. Not healthy or safe!!
This seems to have bipartisan appeal. Or it would have, til Trump suggested it.
Yes! My dog will be so happy.
Mine too !! she pesters me @ 5am to go potty, because she think's it's 6am.

Fuck, thanks for annoying me with that hideous little troll.
she's a bundle of libtard misery!!!
I predict that in the not to distant future...people in Sweden will go to McDonalds and the girl taking their order will look strikingly familiar. Yes Greta, you can super-size my fries.
Never gets old!
Seriously, what is the reason that DST has been kept this long other than inertia? Nobody likes it and in the days of cheap lighting it doesn't save electricity either.
The reason is the DS wanted to keep screwing with you twice a year. Lots of accidents occur around the beginning of each time change.
And heart attacks
Then why not change it more than twice a year if that's the arbitrary reason?
It kinda sucks for the trades who work outside. In the summer I may be starting at 5 am instead of 6. Boy will the kids love me. But its better than starting when the heat of the day is already getting stoked. 6 am to 8 am right now is the only time the heat is bearable.
Im up at 4 am every day anyway and in bed by 8 and asleep by 9. Will be nice that its getting dark before bed instead of full daylight. Be cool to have a 12 hour day end at 5 instead of 7 too.
That hour forward is horrible, I really don't recover from it until it changes back
I'm with you. Although, I, unlike 99% of contractors, go in late and stay late. The evenings cool down, so I hit most of the heat and enjoy the cooler temperatures regardless. Problem with the very long daylight hours is I tend to work too many hours. I love to build, and without darkness stopping me, I tend to press on. Down in Texas it's always crazy hot. I have made my peace with it.
Yea I can see a 5 am start time turning into 14 hour days lol. Im in Michigan, we get breaks where itll drop into the upper 70s with low humidity for a couple days. Even 60s once every couple years. I dont know how you guys in the south and southwest deal with 9 mos of sun and heat.
For my work it means sitting around waiting for the sun then I would end up working late to get everything done. I hate that. Makes you drag all day plus the day is literally longer and if you actually bill for all your productive time then they have kittens
Daylight saving time should become Standard time, then leave the time alone.
Thank God! I hate DST
(Love me some DJT though)
Me, too! 😸
Can we also get rid of the metric system?
Maybe the three countries in the world not using metric should get rid of their medieval unit systems instead.
I was told in HS that we needed to learn metric as the USA will change over to that system eventually. That was over 50 years ago.
You think that's bad? At least you guys have kept weight measurement fairly simple as in you would say "I weigh nnn pounds".
Here in UK we still use the pre-medieval measure of "stones" - there are 14 pounds in a stone. So it is very common to hear someone say "I weigh 14st 7lb" (st=stone, lb=libra=pound)
Ugh. I thought switching from metric to standard over and over was miserable
Please God let them use common sense on this giving us sunshine in the morning and MORE sleep not the reverse like they suggested a few years ago. Driving to work or taking kids to school in full dark with the sun up at bedtime is no fun
What are you going to bed at 4PM in winter?
The sun can still be up in some places as late as 9 or 10 and the sky can have residual light as late as 11 depends on where you are.
This time of year, I get off work and it’s dark. Fuck that shit. No.
I would much rather they keep the clocks forward, though.
Set your own damn clock, leave mine alone. Take up the issue of your working hours with your employer.
Self-employed. I haven't hardly looked at a clock with purpose for twenty-five plus years. No skin off my nose either way. Just a preference if I had to chose.
Respectfully-You do realize that will impact the roads you drive on and how busy they are right? No man is truly an island unless your completely retired and off grid - and if that is the case if you don’t care how it impacts others why should anyone care how it impacts you?
DST was stupid from the start. Any company that wants to start their day earlier can just change their operating hours. It's not necessary for me to change all my clocks twice a year, just because Ben Franklin thought the French were wasting candles.
And then those companies need to tell schools and kindergartens and doctors to start their day earlier. Or we can just shift the clocks forward for more daylight during waking hours and it happens automatically for everyone. You can just start your day later if you want dark evenings.
DST gives more daylight during waking hours so it's better, full stop. We'll keep switching back and forth though because morning people and evening people will never come to an agreement.
Maybe they'll fix the calendar next...
I hope so...13 months with 28 days each, no leap year, Jesus born in September, Inauguration is in March, etc...
Exactly...
Nothing like getting paid monthly 12x a year, then working for 13 months...
12 months = 48 weeks
52 weeks in a yr - 48 months = 4 weeks/1 month free 🙄
Most never realized that...mathemagics

Please get rid.
Should revert to God's time. Each zone time is centered on time over that 15 degrees (360 deg/24 hours) of longitude. If one zone is artificially set, say hour ahead or behind, then you are always confused as to what time you set your clock as you travel. DO THE RIGHT THING AND JUST LET EACH ZONE PROGRESS ONE HOUR. PLEASE.
There's also the issue that the point of high noon shifts by about half an hour throughout the year so there's no "God's" time almost anywhere where high noon is exactly at 12 PM. May as well select a more practical time that gives us more daylight during waking hours, aka DST.
Understood. Fully appreciate as one is over three zones. The idea is to have continuity as you travel from zone to zone going in one direction and not boucing ahead and back. Everyone would understand cross zone and move clock in one direction depending on direction.
