We tried keeping DST for a year way back in the Carter era. People wer3e coplaining for exactly the reasons that Cotton said.
We need permanent time, not the twice-a-year changes. Everyone will adjust. Do it.
One thing to consider is that it requires a lot of software changes and patches when it happens.
I agree with Senator Cotton. We should change the clocks back to Standard Time next week for the last time and be done with it.
It’s good to see our elected officials focusing on important matters.
How about standard time based on the sun and not political reasons. Noon is when the sun is at it’s highest for that time zone.
You know how hard it is to crack the concrete and reset it in my sundial’s base to adjust the dial every time there is a time change.
Why not make standard time permanent?
Why go to Daylight Savings Time permanently? Why not just keep Standard time year-round? Then when it is noon, the sun is at it’s peak, you know, like it’s supposed to be.
Why not make standard time permanent?
And call it “War Time”.
Some states, like Florida don’t need DST. Arizona doesn’t participate, and Hawaii and Alaska just laugh................
For Cotton: If the hour shift twice a year is good,
how about an hour and say, 25 minutes? That should help
Arkansas with the difference between night and day.
It's insane have a hour of light a 5 a.m. in the summer rather than at night.
Almost everyone is up between 4 and 6 p.m. in the winter.
Why not make daylight savings time permanent?
Why does Barrow, Alaska, have DST? What good does it do if the sun barely rises at all, or is up all day?
I was a kid when they started doing this. I thought it was stupid..............
Meaning not making “permanent Daylight Savings Time the law of the land, it will again make winter a physically dark time for millions of Americans, as in early Dec. MA:
Sunrise: 6:55 AM Sunset: 4:12 PM
Arkansas early Dec Sunset, about 5Pm
I agree. Pick one and stick with it. I’m sick of changing my clocks and my body adjusting twice a year.
Because Cotton is blocking it. Making std time permanent would dispel his reasoning.
