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

Just another media stunt.

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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

My favorite time of year is when we turn back (or turn forward) the clocks.

i only wish we could do this monthly. Say 10 minutes per month in the required direction?

Hey Rush!

It’s Daylight Saving Time; not Daylight Savings Time.

There goes the “almost always right, nn.n% of the time.”

Sorry, Rush. There are numerous legitimate studies showing that there are spikes of heart attacks and vehicle accidents right after the DST change, so yes, it is killing people.

At the same time, it’s a legitimate point that without DST, many of the northern states would have sunrise before 4am in the summer, and on full-time DST the sun would set before 4pm in the winter.

I would totally welcome year-round DST.

With the left, virtually every wrong is killing somebody!

As well as a majority of the RIGHT!

I defy death every time I drive to Nashville and pass from eastern to Central time.

Get rid of daylight savings time altogether - NOT permanent daylight savings time. Trash the whole concept of DST. If you want to golf, get up earlier.

Insurance actuary charts do point out a number of dangers involved with time changes.
