Should be standard time that’s made permanent.

I like it the way it is. Changing the clocks is a tradition associated with more than just manipulating daylight, for many of us...

“Should be standard time that’s made permanent.”

I quite agree. What is so sacred about this artificial construct of “daylight saving time”, that it should be made the standard?

The time zones, based in the middle point of the 24 time zones each consisting of 15 degrees longitude of the earth’s surface, and verified at any time by the sun’s position in the sky. were established so transportation between time zones would have a consistent base point, known as Greenwich Mean Time.

Playing little games with “adding” or “subtracting” from the established solar time for a given zone is an exercise in futility. Nobody gains or loses a thing.

Exactly!
Why spring forward if you still have to fall back to get up in winter daylight kids.
Just leave it alone and on the long day days just get your ass up and go to work while it is cool in the early morning hours snd let yourself off an hour early in-the afternoon to still do whatever it is that that daylight savings time supposedly allows you to do

Yes, I would make the standard time permanent!
Why lie to ourselves, let it be clearly like it is!

I don’t care which one they pick. Just make a decision and stick with it.

No, he got it right. DST rocks. More daylight after work for the working guy.
