Moving the start of DLST from end of April to now second Sunday in March is too much.

I like DST for many reasons...the most important being that from about May to September there would be bright sunlight at about 4AM where I live without it.I'd much prefer daylight at 8PM rather than 4AM.
A few years ago I was in southern Michigan in mid June.I arrived,by car,at about 9PM on a clear day and there was still bright sunlight.Even at about 10PM you could still see a little bit of the blue sky above.I found that interesting.

I'm in and we don't observe....but everyone we do biz with does change. Pain in butt.
Once, while visiting customers in Las Vegas area one winter, I was in 4 or 5 time zones in one day. AZ/Nevada/AZ/Utah/Nevada/California. That was a tough day to be on time for appointments.
8 states visited that day, as I remember.

I’d like to set it a half hour in between and just leave it there year round. Call it MAGA Time.

Imo, it’s an especially bad idea in the fall because, with the winter solstice approaching, it shortens an already shortening day (Spring ahead, Fall back).

Split the difference. Move it half an hour and leave it alone.

When told the reason for daylight saving time the Old Indian said,
Only the Government would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and have a longer blanket.

Florida is attempting to do that, which I prefer. The best part is no messing with the clocks twice a year and making adjustments in sleep times.

Move the clocks 1/2 hour and then leave them alone.

I wish it was DST year around.Same here. My morning activities I can do in the dark. I like having more daylight hours in the evening.

DST exists for only one reason: to remind you who’s in charge. Government says it’s 3AM and you agree. Stay in line and do what you’re told.

Split the difference. Move it half an hour and leave it alone. How about, apply the one hour changes more gradually? ie, apply each one-hour time adjustment *daily* over the 6 month period. If I did the math correctly it would work out to about 20 seconds a day. (Joking!!)

In my opinion, Daylight Savings Time is pure BS and a pain in the rear.
To: GotMojo
I beef about it, Fall and Spring.
It screws up your body clock.
