I’d rather that standard time be made permanent.
Perhaps the most useful thing he has done.
Get it done, Marco. You have to some accomplishment that will give you a positive legacy.
Just pick one for crying out loud.
I’ve always heard conflicting things, as to whether daylight time saves energy or not. That’s supposed to be one reason to have daylight time.
Hours and minutes are so, like, Babylonian.
Just pick one.
It’s all about controlling sheep
it’s about time...
All the problems in the world solved so now Congress takes on day light saving time.
Makes sense to me.
Bad idea. But it’s good to know that everything else is squared away in Washington so they can spend time on this.
If they made Daylight Saving Time permanent, everybody would eventually get used it, though of course there are some people that would pitch and moan about anything. But nobody ever gets used to setting their stupid clocks back and forward twice a year. It’s moronic. I’d say good riddance.
Daylight time vs. Standard time becomes less significant the close one goes to the Tropics.
Now if a Senator from MN, ME, or WA were to propose...
A very bad idea.
I hope it gets done this year. I see no opposition to this bill yet it always dies at the end of each session.
We could get the same effect by adjusting the Earth’s obliquity of the ecliptic... (Axial tilt)
Right after we get all those mirrors orbiting to cut off the excess sunlight...
I’m all for bringing on permanent daylight savings time-
Living in a rural area, daylight savings time actually is the best fit-for those who live in these remote areas and drive to work in a town/city or as part of their jobs, that extra hour of daylight is helpful since there is a good bit of distance between towns, etc-it is also helpful for those of us who feed livestock in the evening after work and/or gather up chickens and other birds or small stock like goats and bring them into coops/sheds/barns before dark to protect them from predators like mountain lions, coyotes, etc that are more active at night.
My cub went to school just before dawn-and we build little shelters on the roads for kids to wait for the bus-so they are safe from/unnoticed by predators-with both 2 and 4 legs-I’ve seen them in rural NM as well. When I was a kid-also in a rural area-the same was true...
There is enough light in most cities to create a glow we can see out here, nearly 50 miles from the city-it is called light pollution-surely all those lights are enough to light the way to a school bus stop-it isn’t like there are any coyotes or mountains lions running around the streets in the neighborhoods...
Standard Time is the way to go. We lived with it since the beginning of “time”. Then some politician thought messing with our bodies twice a year was a good idea...with “0” benefits.
Well since we’re headed for a war, just call it “War Time”.
Make Standard Time permanent.
Just abolish daylight savings time completely and let things go back to normal.
