Should be standard time that’s made permanent.
he’s doing it opposite of what it should be!
Standard Time (what we are on now) is for the children....
DST is for golfers.
It was so nice when we switched to Standard Time this fall and the children were FINALLY going to school surrounded by daylight.
Only the government could think of changing the clocks to fool mother nature.
And only the government could think of getting rid of the use of fossil fuels to change the climate.
I’d like to lock the clock on standard time. I hate daylight savings time. I detest having to wake up in the morning in pitch-darkness.
Aren’t we supposed to use this time change to also check the batteries in our smoke alarms? :)
I’m for whichever one makes it get dark later. I don’t care if it’s dark in the morning. Gives me something to look forward to.
Make Standard Time the default.
Retaining the current system is like the “anchor baby” thing. They’re archaic, and the purpose for their existence is long gone.
I TOTALLY agree!
Standard time. They did this in Mexico last year.
I worked for a place that changed its workday hours from roughly Memorial Day to Labor Day, and it was a minor PITA that would have accomplished pretty much what Scott and the daylighters want (and most of the WWI combatant nations forced down their subjects' throats).
How about we just skip DST? It would be much safer for young students to go back to regular standard time.
Much prefer Daylight Savings Time so pleased with this suggestion.
Schools, etc can start at any time they and parents choose.
Lock it to Standard Time, and if schools need to adjust to accommodate daylight hours for kids, let them do that at a school or state level, not by adjusting the physical clock itself, but by adjusting the start and end times of a school day.
Same thing with workplaces. If some workplaces would still rather have the time shift, then make the schedule 8-5 some of the year, and then 9-6 for the rest lf the year.
As a software developer, doing away with DST entirely would simplify so much for us in the long run. It would make anything that’s dependent upon time zones and DST just that much easier to contend with, and you wouldn’t have to schedule a maintenance window in November just because some esoteric tool you use can’t distinguish between 1AM DST and 1AM standard time.
Article is from January.
Today Rick Scott was on X, whining about how the Democrats were making Repubs “jump thru hoops” to get Cabinet nominees confirmed. But, he assured, “no matter how long it takes, they’ll get it done.”
How reassuring is that? “No matter how long”. Poor little Repubs, just can’t seem to figure out how to make hoops go away. Disgusting.
Or how about just go with sun time. Has worked for thousands of years
Classic federalism issue. Repeal the 1966 law that federalized this.
No! I vehemently oppose this. DST should be eliminated, period!
