No it doesnt. Sun time has always been good enough
They started the fiasco to try and save energy. It didnt help. It makes no difference in Ag country where the day begins and ends with the sun.
If folks are all that worried about kids safely getting to school then change the time school starts and ends. Day Light Savings time is a joke

Why make changes to a naturally occurring event
If I have a six foot blanket and my feet stick out the end I cant gix it by cutting twelve inches off the top and sewing that onto the bottom

Sun time was ended in the 1880s when we went to time zones. Otherwise each city and town would have their own time, and the time would change each day based on when the sun reaches the midpoint in the sky. Taking out daylight savings without removing time zones wouldnt take us back to any natural time, unless you believe New York City and st Joseph Michigan are somehow synced in their times

We don’t have it in AZ and I love it this way. It always seemed silly to change time on the clock.

No you wouldn't. People want the time to stay on DST year-round.
uhh
.I'm a people, and I'm telling you I would. I don't get home till after 6. That evening daylight is when I get all of my gardening and outdoor projects done.
To: Nifster
Go to work earlier
I would if I could. I'm a morning person.

Daylight savings time is a joke. It serves no purpose. If you weren’t around in the early 70s when these fights started you missed some really dumb arguments

I like Daylight Savings time as having that extra hour of daylight after work during summer is very important. Let's me put a burger on the grill and have a beer on my back deck before sunset. Why would you want to deny that to working people?
I think it should make it two hours of extra daylight!

You didn’t have that before 1973
Go to work earlier. Turn some lights on
You’re dumb enough to think you get extra hours of sunlight. You don’t

I want my extra sunlight down here. And there’s nothing you can do about it. You don’t control the sun.

The United States should scrap daylight savings time too. I like everything else Benjamin Franklin came up with, but this idea was a stupid one. Why do you need to trick people with a time change for summer?
To: SamAdams76
And theres nothing you can do about other peoples opinions
Have a nice weekend

I realize I’m older than I’ve ever been and am descending (or ascending) in to curmudgeonhood, but I quite agree. I like seeing the sun being south at noon.
