Anyone remember?
“Anyone remember?”
Nope.
We already got the Carter economy back..
Let’s have the no time change back too..
People also wore bell bottoms and watched sonny and cher. So what the hell did they know?
I was in the Marine Corps at the time.
We always awoke in the dark...............
I was teen. No I don’t remember it.
Barely.
Just start school later. Not rocket science.
Kids died all over the country hit by cars, walking to school / waiting for busses in the dark.
If only we could get rid of conservatives, our poor planet’s axis would go back to its non-tilted state.
They don’t like DST?
Then make it standard time year round.
Just stop making people change their clocks twice a year.
It’s just another example of out of congtrol government.
Good article. I did not know this was already tried and failed for a variety of reasons.
Educators are so hide-bound that they can’t schedule school to begin at an appropriate time during the year?
I remember
A local farmer suddenly had his barn in a different time zone from his house 100 feet away
I remember it well. Didn’t like it.
I was a senior in high school. Don’t really remember it.
I remember. I can also remember taking a flashlight to the bus pickup spot a block away from my home. We were victims of the forced bussing experiment that only inflamed racial resentment.
Distinctly—was in HIgh School. Ariound the same time the school district tried the 45-15 plan for a year. Go to school 45 days and off for 15——stuydents in the class coiuld find themselvfes on different tracks as 25 percent of the students were always gone at any time It was a failure.
I remember that very clearly. That is why I advocate putting the clocks back to standard time and then just leaving them alone. It would seem easy to change business hours to suit.

Yes. I was in high school. I had to catch the bus at 7:10 a.m. and I walked to the bus stop by starlight. I often disturbed stray dogs still using the cover of darkness to raid garbage cans. People with smaller children didn’t like sending their children off to school in the dark. It was a lot safer in 1973 than it is now, so I am guessing people will like it now even less.
I did a little research so I can write to my Congressman to vote against it. Under the new plan, the sun would rise after 8 a.m. in my part of Indiana (central time) from November through February. In Indianapolis, which is on the western edge of eastern time, the sun would rise around 9 a.m. during that time.
