Some lawmakers and others have advocated year-round DST in order to save energy....As policymakers and citizens consider year-round Daylight Savings Time let us investigate, analyze and debate whether it is justified based on the evidence rather than aspirations.

Congress continues to show its stupidity, its weakness and its malfeasance. It cannot and does not want to produce and sensible, and responsible energy policy that would assure America of the its energy needs in a safe manner, and reduce our dependence on foreign sources.....
No, instead they just want us to turn light bulbs off sooner. Our great, magnificent Congress in its finest hour.
We have year round NON-Daylight savings time here in Arizona... I am the same time as my Grandma in Oregon half the time and the other half the same time as my Mom in Colorado...
Daylight savings time is like cutting off one end of a blanket and sewing it on the other end in order to make the blanket longer.
I don’t care. I like it.
We’re all screwed up, our pets are all screwed up, bugs don’t know when to come out, our kids are cranky, flowers are not blooming, Easter is too early
What in thunderation is goin’ on?
OOh. Congressional Morons perhaps?...
NAH.. couldn’t be!
“...let us investigate, analyze and debate whether it is justified...”
Reasonable question.
Americans are like zombies two months out of the year.
screw shaped light bulbs...
another f'n patch for windows...
As Mark Twain said, "If pro is the opposite of con, what is the opposite of progress?"
I’m in favor because I’m not a good morning person and now live just west of the time-line. I prefer a constant switch.
same here. - in windy cold NE no less. Relatives in Maine consider it a Holy Day.
Did I mention I hate it?
Pick a G*D* time and stick with it year round!
Our RINO Gov. lost my vote over it.
I am all for full-time daylight savings — or full-time standard time — whatever as long as we set it one way and stop this nonsense of adjusting the time twice a year.
Don’t you have to wonder how an error like this could make it past the copy editors, etc.?
I think DST leads to more deaths.
Those of us that live to the west of our jobs drive into the sun in the morning. The sun gets high enough that it’s not just an inch off the road and the hood as you’re driving uphill. Then DST comes and we get 2 more weeks of driving into the sun again. I know it leads to accidents. Not the least of which is drowsy drivers in the spring.
End it. End it now, keep the DST time and be done with it. I _HATE_ the change.
Lol. I like these extra couple of weeks they’ve added
We could always return to fully local time and rejoin the 17th century. The every little town and burg would have it’s own time.
Noon is when the sun is at it’s highest point. I don’t care what the gubmit says.
