From Trump this morning:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

The House and Senate should push hard for more Daylight at the end of a day. Very popular and, most importantly, no more changing of the clocks, a big inconvenience and, for our government, A VERY COSTLY EVENT!!! DJT

America tried permanent daylight savings in the 70s. It started out popular but then became extremely unpopular once people realized it was dark all morning in the winter. There were extreme safety concerns for children going to school in the darkness

One way or the other, it does not matter to me. Just do it.

Since I retired I really don’t care much but spring forward always sucked.

Just pick one.....hour forward or hour back and stick with it.

It is standard time for reason. Just use it, and quit with the clock games.

Daylight at the end of the day will always get my vote! (Note my tagline.)

Shadows should point North at Noon.

For when I am lost.

If you want more light time in the evening, negotiate with your employer to start work earlier.

Does this mean light later? I hope thats the case. Rubio had something drafted forever that got nowhere.

Part of the attraction of moving to SE Idaho was the late sunsets in Summer. Latest is 9:13 PM. There is a dark side to staying DST all year. The dark side is waiting until 9 AM for sunrise in January. You would still get a better sunset in January at 5:55 PM.

The value of the semi-annual switch between Standard and Daylight time is most pronounced in northern tier states. The southern states have less variation.

Somehow, I wonder that if they actually go to permanent daylight savings time, the Liberals and lefties, in their desire to ‘resist’, will stay on Standard Time year-round just to protest against Trump?

my cat keeps telling me that it is breakfast time earlier and earlier.

It pays no attention to the clock I tell it to look at

I’d rather see a saner approach where DST is for the summer months. Beginning on Memorial Day and ending in October. But I’ll shed no tears if it is eliminated all together.
