I agree!
It is an antiquated practice in the Twenty First Century.

It would obviously be possible for people and businesses and schools... to adjust their own schedules for the seasons without state intervention. Oh, but wait, that would require independent thinking and taking personal responsibility.

I’d prefer if there were no time zones.

Change the school day, then.
Better yet, let us get rid of these inefficient, backward government indoctrination centers that we call the public schools.
Just give parent vouchers and let them pick their own school or method.

I like to set mine back a few hours early just to be a rebel. Just set them back. Standard time feels good.

Before Daylight Savings Time existed I’m guessing schools just opened an hour after sunrise no matter what time it was. Imagine that. LOL.
To: MUDDOG
Yep...every pay check is “trick” for me, “treat” for them. F-em!! I wonder why the liberals haven’t tried to make the candy “free” yet!!

I remember asking my dad once what he thought God thinks of our whole Daylight Savings idea. He just shrugged and said, "well...God probably says, 'hey...I give you guys 24 hours in a day...if you want to call THREE o'clock FOUR o'clock, I don't care'"

Well said!
I feel the same when I hear appeals for food donations. I think, food stamps not enough for you? It's always, "Gimme gimme gimme." Never enough.

Before electric lighting, I can see the possible logic in DST, but afterwards there is no logic.

This was my last Halloween. I'm tired of feeding them candy as well as food stamps.
Be careful what you wish for!
I was talking with a friend yesterday who lives in St. Clair Shores (suburb of Detroit) and he complained how vans from Detroit would park at the end of his block and unload their kids. They don't do that anymore because they've moved into his neighborhood..........LOL!
