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.
right, sunrise Duluth Mn on 12/20 is 7:55 standard time , it is 7:02 standard time in Miami.That would be an hour later daylihjt time. every time this is discussed here,Nixon’s energy “energy saving “ switch to daylight time in winter, 1973 , is mentioned, children waiting for AM buses in pitch dark during AM rush hour.
ONLY in the states south of the Oregon/California border does standard time vs daylight time make a difference in the light for kids going to school. Those of us north of that line spend our winter mornings going to school in wintertime IN THE DARK, DST or not.
In fact, moving the time an hour earlier in the WINTER makes more sense if you want natural light longer in the evenings, which is the original reasoning for the shift. It’s going to be dark in the morning anyways!
“Standard Time (what we are on now) is for the children...”
It is always “for the children”. Just start school an hour later.
DST is for anyone who works outside.
