The extra hour of sunlight should give a boost to the agricultural sector.

It actually gives a boost to the Islamic sector as they are supposed to be home by sunset during certain times of the year.

I prefer standard time as then the sun is at its highest point for that day at noon. A fair compromise would be to just adjust it a half hour and leave it.

Other good options:

-Set it so the school day always ends at sunset so the kids have no excuse to not get there on time in the morning and are pretty much stuck home when I’d like to be out.

-Abolish time entirely so everyone lives for today.

Yes, plants will grow bigger with the extra light the government has provided.

I live in California. I am 84 years old. EVERY year, when we switch to Daylight savings time most of those I know that live here become upset and say we want to go BACK to STANDARD TIME and STAY THERE!!

I LOVE TRUMP... I support him, but I HATE this!! Let's go back to Standard time and stay there like Arizona and a few other sensible states!!

No it won’t. Farmers hate DST.

Sarcasm right?? No extra hour of sunlight is involved.

“When told the reason for Daylight Saving Time, the Old Indian said,
“Only the government would believe that you can cut a foot off the top
of a blanket, sew it to the bottom, and get a longer blanket.””

“The extra hour of sunlight should give a boost to the agricultural sector.”

absolutely ... and no one can object to an extra hour of sunlight every day for agriculture ... plus, that extra daily hour of growth is good for helping to soak up more of that toxic CO2 that’s destroying the planet ... overall, permanent DST is a big plus any way you look at it!
