This is the hill you will die on? All that he has done and you want to draw the line at daylight savings time. Seriously?!!! And while I’m chastising you, get rid of the Twitter crap, it is just X. Move on.
This is not enough to make me abandon President Trump, but it should not be a matter for the federal government at all. Let the states decide for themselves. As a resident of Arizona for nearly 40 years, I definitely prefer year-round standard time.
R U nutz?
Daylight savings type is an unnecessary ignorant scam.
Voluntary choice by organizations to commence or end normal working hours, seasonally, at an hour earlier or an hour later is sufficient for the issue. There is no need for anything but regular time, not “day light savings time” at anytime.
I prefer it as it is, except I would want the time change spread apart. Switch to Standard Time the last Sunday in October. Switch to Daylight Saving Time the last Sunday in March. As it is now, it changes back from Standard Time to Daylight Saving Time too soon.
People should be able to vote which way they want it to permanently be.
Here’s what some winter solstice sunrise/sunset times will be:
Bangor ME 809/457
NY NY 816/531
DC 823/549
Jax FL 819/630
Miami FL 803/634
The extra hour of sunlight should give a boost to the agricultural sector.
Permanent DST is stupid. Actually DST is stupid.
And DJT needs to stop sticking his ego into everything.
He has a war or two to deal with.
When Trump promised to eliminate DST he meant the annual changing to DST in March. He isn’t changing his position. I have gotten used to the way he speaks: his mind runs faster than his words and he sometimes clips words.
Dropping support over this seems a bit overreacting, eh?
If he signs it I could develop Type 2 TDS (Trump Deification Syndrome)! It would be excellent.
You an please some of the people all of the time, and
you can please all of the people some of the time, but
you can never please all of the people all of the time.
This is a majorly stupid,unnecessary, baaad idea. DST should either be scrapped all together or relegated to the Summer, as it once was, June to October would make sense.
Just hope all the software gets updated to adjust to the new time.
How about instead, a compromise Shift the whole clock change thing by a half hour.. Split the difference, and then make it permanent.
That way, neither side’s ‘ox is gored’ too deeply.
Great for President Trump if it passes. No more Daylight Savings time changes twice a year.
Same time zones all year long. No clock changes.
It makes little difference if it is DST or ST. It does not change.
A good win. Not huge but about 80% of the country wants to eliminate the twice a year changes.
Yes! I’ve been a proponent of permanent DST since the idea was first raised.
As I recall he just told Congress to send him a bill ending the changing of clocks twice a year. I don't recall him being for or against one or the other.
