This, like a broken clock is right twice a day, is right twice a year ... and that’s how far it ever goes.
You just made my point about the Church of Perpetual Panic. Thank you.
“Daylight time makes the whole country more productive”
Dozens of economic studies have proven that idea is a myth.
ANYONE can change their operating schedule, without ANY kind of law anywhere dictating what time your clock should read. ANYONE can choose, independently, to call their “work-day”, 9:AM to 6:PM, instead of 8:AM to 5:PM, or 8:AM to 5:PM, instead of 9:AM to 6:PM, depending on their seasonal preference, and they can so inform their clients and vendors of that business choice of theirs. Clients and vendors who need to be “totally in-sync” with them might choose to do the same, and some may not if it is not so necessary for their operations.
Schools can do the same sort of thing.
But no one NEEDS to mess with the actual time of day.
“Daylight time makes the whole country more productive without passing tyrannical laws on how to operate business.”
Daylight savings time IS a tyrannical law.
Go for a half hour difference, and make it permanent.

The opinion of an established idiot.
“The opinion of an established idiot.”
You silly little nit. You think all the economists who have shown there is no NET economic benefit to daylight savings time care that you have nothing but ad hominem personal attacks in the arsenal of your arguments?
No one cares what your silly uneducated opinion is.
.
The uneducated opinion is your own.
I speak from the standpoint of having to get work done by a staff of experienced and educated engineering propessionals.
Daylight time is quite effective, and that is why it is being attacked. Dumping it is “Common Whore” time.
Everything functional in our system is under the same attack. Look in a mirror and say “Well Done Soros lacky.”
.
I bet they still gripe.
.
Thanks George!

“Daylight time is quite effective”
NO. It is being discredited because the evidence, in study after study, discredits it. Any gains at one end of the day, or one time of the year, are offset by negative effects on the other end of the day or time of the year. Due to the negative impacts of the change over days themselves, the NET ANNUAL change to the economy is negative. There is zero net proven productivity gain, no matter what myths people believe.
.
All the gripes are comming from “socialism central.”
.
.
Keep your web of socialism; I’ll stick with productive reality.
Thanks George!
I am a capitalist, not a socialist.
You, with your tyrannical government dictating artificial time represent the socialists and progressives.
Free thinking people can adjust their schedules without changing the time on their clocks in accordance with government dictates.
.
What you are is the socialists toy.
Our system is “Free Enterprise,” not crapitalism, that was our adversary’s mockery of our way.
Use their words, do their deeds.
.
the conversation needs to be changed. Rather than thinking of Day Light Savings, think of moving the time zone
.
We need to stop using our adversary’s terms, and letting them pick the battles.
.
“What you are is the socialists toy.”
You are an idiot.
Adam Smith has long been considered the lead philosohper in the lineage of advocating what we know today as capitalism. Captialism and “free markets” - as Smith wrote - are not opposites, but both behaviors - as Smith wrote - of economic Liberty. Free markets in ownership of companies as well as things results in the necssary formation of capital - thus capitalism - upon which production and invention can progress.
