I’d just assume not change my clocks twice a year. The “Fall back” is always nice. The “Spring forward” always sucks. So I’d rather just have one set time and be done with all this. And I work outside everyday. I’ll adjust my schedule. Just pick a dang time people!
I hate changing clocks and hate getting accumulated, hate the sudden change to my internal clock. Nature gives a more natural method by changing sunrises and sunsets by minutes, not a whole hour in one shot. It was a nightmare forcing my kids to change their natural internal clocks when they were growing up, was extra hard for them.
I've been tempted to changing my clocks one half hour. And leaving them there. Then half the year I'm 30 minutes early, and half the year I'm 30 minutes late.
Just end it and let each company and school decide when they want to start their day. It's not rocket science. Just end it and let the locals decide about what hours they want to work.
I get what Trump is saying. I would prefer to stay on DST forever because I want more daylight in the evenings. I hate standard time in the winter because it's already getting dark by the time I get home from work. Makes it difficult to do anything outside during the week.
People can’t decide if they want the spring forward time or the fallback time. So there’s no need to tick off 50% of your population over this issue. Better to get really important stuff done first.
The effect of Daylight Savings Time is strongest in the northern latitudes, due to the seasonal variation in daylight. I live in Washington state and in summer DST, we have sunsets around 9 PM. People enjoy the greatly prolonged afternoon and early evening in balmy weather. In wintertime, it would be pointless, since we have round-the-clock overcast and rain. So, I've lived with it all my life and only imports and malcontents want to make a political issue out of it.
I'm kinda with you, although I totally understand people's frustrations with it.
I was once told by a teacher it was good for rural kids on school busses due to the darkness at certain times of the year, but I don't think it was originally for that. My Depression era parents said it was for Victory Gardening during WWI and II. Who knows? Either way it goes, I'll be fine with it.

Exactly this
Day light savings time according to studies have disrupted sleep patterns, potential negative impacts on health like increased risk of heart attacks and strokes, reduced productivity due to fatigue, a spike in traffic accidents after the time change, and questionable energy savings with recent studies indicating minimal benefit from DST in terms of energy conservation; essentially, the disruption to circadian rhythms caused by changing clocks can have significant negative consequences on well-being and safety.

If somebody has a heart attack because they get an hour more earlier or later, it think they have some pretty big problems to worry about.
I just want more sunlight at the end of the day. Don't really care about its impact.
Most of those people are over the age of 65.
Ive never met someone against getting rid of DST. 50/50? Smells like BS,
I want DST 365 days a year.

Latest polling shows 54% want standard time.

He says people are 50/50 on the issue. Perhaps he'll be releasing info so all know it's bad for everyone.
DST is good for me. I'm the minority though.

I love daylight savings and want to keep it all year round!
My husband suggested to alter the clocks one final time by a half hour- makes both parties equally aggravated.
Arizona does NOT do the Daylight Savings Time nonsense. And it works great.
He is already doing 100,000 things, including world peace!
I for one like the change.
Makes me appreciate the extra hour of sleep in autumn and appreciate the extra hour of evening light in the spring.

Daylight Savings is terrible. My sleep pattern is totally disrupted by this.
I think it’s more like the prep time that is needed. Had to wait until next year. It is imbedded into a lot of software items.
Sorry I never met someone the ❤️’s changing their clocks back and forth?
He cannot just eo everything. It must go through Congress which takes time z or else the next May sayer can rescind it.
We should get wild and have DLST quarterly
All of nature gets up and beds down in lockstep with the sun.
Humans? No....We gotta dare to be different an sheit
Believe it or not, the golf industry plays a huge role in wanting/keeping DLST as is.
They'd lose millions annually if it went standard...
Don't have a problem with it. Longer time on the beach.
I do believe Florida stays on DST all year.
