House passes bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent
- Thread starter dishdude
- Start date
California already mandated a later start time
Personally I hate waking up and mornings love afternoons and sun sets all year as I only feel better the longer I am active in the last half of the day so I prefer the natural light later in the day

In fact, that is crucial. However, there are more crucial issues as always.
Also, it makes me think why Russia doesn't have DST.
DST is antiquated and unnecessary.
I don't know why it is so divided over where to leave it -- just make it simple!!
This Fall, wind the clocks back 1/2 hour and leave it alone. Both sides get some of what they want.
And
everyone is equally unhappy.

Now that I was gifted a second manual adjust clock !
I thought they would make regular time permanent instead of daylight savings time. But I guess that give doctors, lawyers, and politicians more golfing time in the evenings.

While I would prefer it to be set forward (summer), I would not argue if it were set back (winter).
But for goodness sake, pick one or the other and leave the flipping clock alone! DST is stupid; the rationale for its existence ended decades ago.

Yes, pick one, set it and forget it!!
The hour makes no difference here. It's still dark when kids are getting on the bus. I think this is a bit of an extreme take.
I have no time for this thread ! Ha ha. I’ll see myself out.
Not a great idea IMO. I thought it was at first.
"Everyone agrees the twice-a-year clock change is ridiculous. But if we’re making one time permanent, why choose the one that most sleep and circadian experts don’t recommend? Permanent standard time aligns better with our biology because morning sunlight is what sets our internal clocks. Permanent Daylight-Saving Time means darker winter mornings, later body clocks, and more circadian disruption. This would be another disaster for American health. It’s probably too late to stop this but switch this to permanent Standard time instead!!!!"
"9:00 AM Sunrise is more insane than most people realize. That's 1.5 class periods into school before the sun even rises. 2 hours into most blue collar workdays. That extra hour of daylight (in cold winter when everyone is inside anyway) from 5-6p isn't worth it at all."

Kids wait for the bus in the dark already. This will be nothing new. I did as a kid in the North. My kids did here in the South.
The proper question is why does the federal government have any say in the time anyway. Its a clear over-reach they started in 1918 due to "war". Just one more power grab during war they never gave up.
Many of the school districts outside of the big cities in the Northeast are switching over to at home pickup instead of the bus stops. My hometown did it a few years ago and it was largely because of how spread out the kids are nowadays. The stops that used to have 15-20 kids show up were down to 1-2 kids.
It does seem silly to pick DST. Either way, as long as we have one single time local entities can adjust. Open at 7 instead of 8, etc.

It’s nothing to do with that - the comments here are easily predictable …

That’s what we have done for years …
I'm going to be really snotty here with this take...
I've been doing rotating shift work for 25 years. The fact that we lose our collective minds now with a one hour clock change twice a year is laughable to me.
If this goes through, I give it 3 years at most before it gets changed back and we realize why we have been doing it in the first place.
