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.

You mean like Newfoundland and have half an hour difference? That’s an interesting idea.

It was also dangerous. People may bbe tired after work but in the morning they’re “stunad”, and far more prone to doing dumb things in a car.

I can adjust to nature’s world and the sun and moon, night and day, morning and evening during different seasons, I just want them to pick a time and stay with it.

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.

Being also retired, I am trying to stick to an unchanging standard time. The few clocks I have that auto-adjust, I let do it. Internet-timed devices self-adjust.

But, I am sick of changing clocks, and a programmable thermostat (which is a must) becomes a joke to change. Why change the time, to then have to change all of the programmed time settings?

The same with Solar. The Sun knows when it’s noon. Moving the clock around is idiotic for solar timers.

My dogs, too, want to eat when they want to. They don’t understand how to read clocks. ;-)
