No, don't change to Standard Time, keep it at Daylight Time. Who the Hell in their right mind wants Sun up at 4:30 a.m.?

On a related note, this jackass talks about health and heart attacks but these gas bags never suffer the Widow Maker? I might pay a quarter to see that go down.

They think it’ll give them more daylight hours to traffic in more illegals.

Aren’t they worried that having an extra hour of daylight during the 4 months or so that will be affected will increase global warming?

A better solution might be to narrow the time zones a bit and everyone stay on the same one all year. The difference in sunrise and sunset from the eastern to western end of a zone can be quite dramatic

A poll at https://pemco.com/poll/do-you-favor-keeping-our-clocks-set-the-same-year-round showed a majority of Northwest residents favor keeping the clocks at the same offset from UTC year round. Most of those people want year round standard time. If, we went to year round standard time while staying in the same time zones, this would not require approval from Congress or the U.S. Department of Transportation. I would favor this move, but I would urge evening meetings be moved back an hour earlier on the clock so that I could still more easily get up before sunrise in June. This would avoid having more children going to school in the dark in December and January. Some work schedules could be moved back an hour earlier on the clock. I have my computers set to the Pacific/Pitcairn setting which has year round Pacific Standard Time, while keeping some clocks at Daylight Time until the first Sunday in November. I could say I usually wake up at 4 AM in June, but that is on the Pacific Standard Time clock which is used year round on Pitcairn Island and is the Daylight Time in most of Alaska.
