I wish it would stay at one time. We aren’t a nation of farmers without equipment anymore.
What other countries observe DST? (asking legitimately)

“On Sunday, Nov. 6, California residents will have to set their clocks back by one hour.”

That’s a lie!

There is no California law that requires people to set their clocks back on November 6th.

“the Sunshine Protection Act, which was introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida”

Floriduh has a totally different daylight pattern over the year compared to Washington State.

I actually like the changing of the clocks.

We should get an extra hour of daylight in the warmer months. In the dead of winter, nobody cares that it's dark at 5 o'clock. It's too cold to do anything outside anyhow.

Daylight savings makes no sense for winter time. In fact, it will make the mornings much darker as sunrise would not happen until much later and everybody will be going to school or work in the dark.

Joe Biden is not the President. He is a thief and imposter.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

No they wouldn't.

Don't Arizona and Indiana already say otherwise?

Seriously, I wish they would just leave it alone . . . one way or the other, I don't really care.

Or create half hour time zones. It makes no sense that Travis City, Michigan and Portland, Maine are in the same time zone even if there is well more than an hour difference between sunrise and sunset at each location.

California should be passing a law that demands 16 hours of sunshine per day for the full 12 months a year. They need it in order to power the solar panels that will be needed to power all of those EVs that become mandatory for all vehicle owners in 2035. ;)

Correct. I lived in Columbus, GA for four years. Five miles west, over the river, Phenix City, AL was technically on Central Time. The Post Offices obeyed that, but nobody wlse did, because most people in the area lived on Columbus' ET, as Columbus is 20 times the size of Phenix City.

My daughter lives in Maine. Further east than most of the country. It gets dark as early at 4:00 in December. Very depressing. You’re ready for bed by 7:00

The “Sunshine Protection Act”? Is there a limit on the arrogance of these idiots we are idiot enough to elect to represent us? What’s next, the “We Are All Gods” act? SMH.

I am confused. Are we setting clocks back this year or not? I’m in Alabama. Last I heard the Senate had passed the resolution, but not the house, and it would not start until 2023.

Then is there a federal law, which requires the time to change?

It doesn’t make sense anytime. Why should we get an extra hour in the summer ? To disrupt our sleep cycles ? Or no cost savings on energy usage ?

“In the dead of winter, nobody cares that it’s dark at 5 o’clock. It’s too cold to do anything outside anyhow.”

Um, Wisconsin Dairy/Cattle Farmers do! The cows can’t wait. ;)

I wish they’d just leave it alone and let people get back to the regular rhythms of Nature adjusting things by the season. (And, it’s already dark by 6pm up here!)

Government can regulate daylight? Well, how come they haven’t solved climate change, yet? I mean, it just takes the stroke of a pen, obviously!

*SNORT*
