Concur. I like to get out and get a bike ride in before the traffic gets too busy and it gets too hot here in central FL.

Get rid of time zones too. We’re not riding stagecoaches anymore.

OK, I'll bite. How would getting rid of times zones work?

What do times zones have to do with Wells Fargo, Jim Hardie and stagecoaches?

Just heard on the radio that one of my Michigan state lawmakers wants to submit a bill making EST permanent, no DST........

Michigan is in the far northwest corner of the Eastern Time Zone. I remember when I lived there you could go outside at 10PM and it wasn't quite dark yet. Kinda cool.

Split the difference and leave it.
It must cost the economy millions in lost productivity to change back and forth.

Is there anyone who is against it?.............

I prefer reverting to Standard Time. If groups want dark mornings, then go to work earlier. If Daylight time becomes standard though, that would be ok; just stop with changing the damned clocks.

Sure. More darkness in the morning means more kids getting run over on the way to school.

..and it is thinking like this why we cannot get rid of the stupidity.

Sorry, but if the kid is old enough to walk to school, they should be smart enough to look for traffic.

Make it one or the other but leave it alone.

This has to be one of the stupidest things we allow to happen to us. Absolutely brainless.

Trump strikes again with obvious truth that politicians everywhere ignore.

It isn’t saving energy, as recent data shows.

Even with daylight savings, the neighborhood kids still have to catch the bus in the dark. They had a week or so of daylight mornings to ride the bus

Sounds like this time adjustment thing is really working then. Only two killed.

It is still dumb. Kids here get on in the dark anyway. Making it DST year round won’t make it any darker when they get on than dark already.

Ours already wait on the bus in the dark some days in the deep of winter. The early bus is always in the dark anyway.

What happened is the powers that be drew the time zone lines wrong to begin with

“Truth is that, just as bad parents today tend to end up with poorly educated children, the same would happen if we abolished public schools.”

This is an absolute truth. I was reminded of it yesterday while fueling the truck. Grandmother and a nice little girl pulled up. the kid was all excited about some kind of shoe that slide on the concrete and then wanted to help get gas. She didn’t do the receipt option and all the grandmother could do was bitch at her. Children that are raised by crass, crude, cruel and ignorant adults usually turn out the same way as the adults.

Most people should not have children. They aren’t qualified.

Sam you know that only the government could come up with something like that and sell it as “reasonable”.

Half hour time zones might be the easiest way to achieve the split in the difference.

Or change some of the time zones. It seems like most people want to just stay on DST(more light later in the day) except the people on the far western edge of the time zones like Michigan.
