This is one of the very few things my husband and I ever really argue about. I like the changing of the clocks twice a year. He wants it gone.
Anyone who travels to a different time zone has to deal with the same thing, and it's usually more than a 1-hour difference, and they have very little time to adjust before returning home.
I like that it stays light until much later in the summer, and I like not waking up in the dark in the winter. I don't understand why people have such a problem with it.
Time to get rid of it, once and for all.
Some will cling to the custom of switching back and forth mainly because that’s how it’s always been, and they don’t like changing such seasonal customs.
I want EDST all year.
Year- round Daylight Savings Time (later evenings)!
I don’t want it to change. I like having this same conversation every few months FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE!
Rubio had something sitting for years in DC that would leave it as it is in the summer. I just needed congressional approval. Florida wants it lighter later in the day.
KILL IT. And I don’t care which way we go - just all year one way or the other with no changes.
I don’t care either way
Just be done with it.
Just split the difference. Next Spring set the clock a half hour ahead and just leave them there for now on.
I want Southern California climate/temps and sun in the NE, is that asking too much?
Keep DST permanent. Don’t need that much light so early.
I tried several years ongoing to tell them it was already in the software programs, but my boss eventually told me to just shut up and act like it was something important. So I did. It was even in my performance reviews, how good of a job I did with the clock change across 7,325 IP Addresses. Servo drives, frequency drives, date code printers, Zebra labelers, Allen Bradley Controllers, Siemens Controllers, Bar code readers, and yes, even the Kronos time clocks.
When setting it all up, you just click the icon for DST, Yes, or No. A whole month of doing not a thing, and getting praised for it.
Uniform Time Act didn’t keep AZ and Indianapolis from not recognizing DST.
Just leave it one way or the other...I don’t care which....
Wouldn’t that be absolutely wonderful if this was gone forever?
“Helps the farmers” - THE FARMERS ALWAYS KNOW WHEN IT’S TIME TO GET UP, DUMBA$$!!!
The best explanation for daylight savings time I ever heard was from an office manager where I worked: He heard me b1tching about it and said, “If you manage a large building anywhere within a city, daylight savings time helps you save money.” His explanation made sense, but I don’t think it really helps anyone. I mean, if your job involves showing up at an office just before sunrise to turn on the heat and lights - so the heat/lights don’t sit there cranking away for two hours before sunrise heating/lighting an empty building, then that’s your job and it’s up to you to adjust your schedule. As an office manager, if you don’t want your employees driving in the dark to work on ice-slick roads while their kids wait in the dark and cold for the school bus to show up - you send out your memo: “Hey folks we’re going to winter hours! So that means next week you can show up to work ONE HOUR LATER!” - and so on.
It’s understandable but that doesn’t mean it isn’t stupid anyway.

The dark side of daylight saving time
Why can an hour’s time change in spring disrupt our body, sleep, and mental health?

One more hour of evening sunlight…permanently. Quit switching after we switch this spring. I think most people confuse DST and switching. They oppose switching bet I bet most people would like a permanent change to DST.
