Stupid regulation should be abolished - it causes too much confusion and sleep deprivation.
We never had it in Arizona.
It does not make any sense.
Ben Franklin may have been joking when he suggested it.
The idiot,Markey,from MA extended it.
I have always hated it.

The time change doesn’t really hit me until Tuesday. I once ran a stop sign on a heavily traveled street. Then it messes with my sleep cycle for a month. I once maintained a separate clock and kept my sleep regulated to CST; it worked. Probably will start doing that regularly.
All the wind turbines going up will stop the earth from spinning.
We have to increase daylight savings time.

I like the extra hour in the evening.
Is that I am retired I could care less either way.
Though when I was younger and could do stuff, I loved getting home and have daylight till near nine.
I think we have more to worry about in this country than whether or not we have DST. How bout we concentrate on stopping terrorists and illegals and MS-13 and Marxists in the shadow government.
Instead of changing the clocks from their earth-natural meaning - “noon” is approximately when the sun is closest possible to being directly over head (directly overhead depending on the season and the location) - schools, businesses, organizations and even towns can agree to VOLUNTARILY change their schedules.
Instead of changing the clocks, change the schedule, as in “Our hours of operation as of MM/DD will begin at X:AM instead of Y:AM and end on X1:PM instead of Y1:PM. On MM/DD we will change our daily schedule back to the present one.
And make it voluntary, not mandatory.
Depending on the proposal, Carter tried this and kids were getting hit and killed walking to school buses because it was still dark in the morning. Is anyone mentioning this?
Semiannual, not biannual.
It's a small inconvenience that only happens two days a year, but benefits us greatly by giving us more daylight when we really need it.
I personally think daylight savings is one of the smartest inventions since sliced bread.
The easiest way around this is to simply adjust your business hours by time of year. If there was no Daylight Saving Time, the baseball team that starts its games at 7:30 could start them at 6:30 instead.
That's pretty much the way I try to operate as much as possible. I typically conduct my daily work schedule based on the time the sun rises, so DST really doesn't change my life all that much.
Let’s compromise, shift the clock 1/2 hour and leave it there.
Getting rid of it and just using one system, either system, would be music to my ears.
This twice a year change is useless and stupid.
We can no more legislate “more daylight” than “more summer.”

The Daylight Savings Time debate should consider how unhealthy the ridiculous practice is.
No it wasn’t . The changes in the seventies were first sold as a way to save energy. When that proved false they continued it as a way for families to spend more time together.
DST is a joke. It is like having a six foot blanket, cutting off a foot at one end, sewing that foot on the other end, and then claiming you have a longer blanket
I love it!
So then lock the current time as "time". It's all arbitrary and the government has shown then can even change the dates for this nonsense.
The last time there was an attempt to “lock the clock” (do away with daylight savings time), it was made longer. About 10-12 years ago, they added a month on each end of DST. That meant that all the traffic lights in the City had to be reprogrammed. Naturally, the City personnel couldn’t do that.
Reasonable arguments haven’t worked, but maybe the rhyming catch phrase “lock the clock” will work in a country where reasoned thought is devalued but slogans are taken as meaningful.
