Drive-Bys: Daylight Savings Time Is Deadly

[Steely Tom]

After they get rid of it, within five years they’ll be demanding to bring it back.

Just another media stunt.

[Responsibility2nd]

Don’t we usually argue and rant on about DST when it’s time to spring forward or fall back?

Is this a slow news day for El Rushbo? Has to stir the pot on this?

[SkyDancer]

Yeah and it contributes to global warming what with the sun being out an hour extra per day!

[Gay State Conservative]

If we didn't have DST the sun would be shining through my window at 3:30AM in June. If we had DST year round it would be dark at 3:30PM in December in my little corner of paradise.

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

[dainbramaged]

Just pick one or the other, for cryin’ out loud.

[Red Badger]

LOL!.................You know, I bet there are people who actually believe that!....................

[Dr. Sivana]

We moved to AZ, but I remote into a job on eastern time, so it affects me anyway. Plus when everyone else is on DST, Rush is put on one-hour delay in Phoenix, so I have to go to IHeart to hear him live.

[Red Badger]

Maybe we should adopt the Ancient Romans’ way of telling time.

The Sunrise was at 0:00:00 every day, no matter what time of year it was...................

[Jeff Chandler]

Fall forward, Spring back.

[SkyDancer]

With the arguments those GW people use I believe they do. We should go to their websites and troll them with it.

[Jeff Chandler]

In Arizona was have more daylight than we know what to do with. There is no way to get us to save any.

[Jeff Chandler]

[cuban leaf]

Daylight savings time is like prohibition. It seemed like a good idea at the time...

[scrabblehack]

The further south you are, the less desirable it is. Arizona and Hawaii don’t have it, as I recall. They may as well not bother.

Up there in Massachusetts it does make a difference. As I recall, some foreign countries have double daylight savings time.

I suppose Alaska is so far north it doesn’t matter...you’re going to get 20 hour days in the summer and 4 hour days in the winter.

In general it should be a state issue not a federal issue.
However the zones need to be contiguous.
If New Jersey doesn’t want it and New York does and Connecticut doesn’t and Kassachusetts does, I think it is a proper use of the interstate commerce clause to overrule the states.

[SaveFerris]

Evah since dey be lettin' da Sun shine an extra hour per dayz, dey be muhr Globalz Warming!

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

This is the single dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Look, we all know that that DST is racist---it was invented so that Blacks would miss their "freedom trains". White men knew that Black folks would cook and sweat under the relentless heat of global warming, even though the global warming meme would not be discovered until people became "woke" some 154 years after the abolition of slavery. but again, slavery could never have been abolished in the US had it not been for Black people! This has seldom, if ever been discussed. Whites, especially conservative Republican Whites, would have never been able to claim this righteous position without the participation of Blacks!

[TigersEye]

Sorry, Rush, DST sucks and it does screw me up for weeks after the clocks change. Less so than it did when I worked a daily job on the clock but it still messes me up.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

We missed Hiroshima/Nagasaki this year, so we had to make up for it.

[BradyLS]

I think we can dispense with DST more because it’s a nuisance than anything else.
