There is little no energy savings from DST, but it is nice during the summer months to have more light in after work hours. That said why do we start DST so early and run it clear into November? It would make more sense to start around Memorial Day and end over Labor Day.
Since I’m retired I decided to set my clock forward 13 hours just to see if I noticed.
It was dark when I got up this morning ... had to turn on lights.
Don’t forget, it’s also racist somehow..
I think somebody, somewhere, somehow, is making money from DST. There is no other reasonable explanation.
Doesn’t sound as though anybody on here works the night shift.
Nothing like going to bed in the evenings when it is dark and some what quieter.
Now with the time change, longer,noisier evenings.
More traumas at the hospital from people **cking around into the evening.
Too close to retirement to switch shifts.I’ll just have to ride it out a few more years and watch out co-workers,snarly will be on the rampage from lack of sleep.
Why this cannot be ended is baffling to me.
Now it’s back to dark mornings for kids - who have enough trouble as it is getting to school at 8:00.
How does turning the clocks forward make it safe for children walking to school in the dark? The streets around here are like Mad Max Thunderdome as it is with idiots racing down residential streets trying to get to work.
Why do we even have “standard” time any more? Nearly 2/3rds of the year will be spent on DST, while during only 1/3rd of the year do we use “standard” time. “Standard” time isn’t the standard now...daylight saving time is, by duration. Why not use it year round and do away with the clock-changing ritual?
It used to be the last Saturday/Sunday in March, why is it now the first Saturday/Sunday in March?
