Wow. 15 1/2 hours of sleep each day ? That’s more than I get, and I need a lot of sleep.
Anthropogenic Time Change!
Having mastered Time, the Climate is next. Choose your delusion.
No, it won’t. Just publish this same article every year and change the date. Because I read the same every year.
Those bankers (aren’t they fun?) and attorneys need those extra daylight hours in the spring and summer to play golf after office hours.
Standard Time year round would be healthier for most people and for the economy. People would be healthier and more civil. Fewer auto accidents and many other benefits.
“A similar bill introduced by Rubio last year passed with unanimous support in the Senate, but it wasn’t as well-received in the House”.
I don’t get it. Are there lobbyists in DC that convince our lawmakers to keep doing this stupid thing twice a year? If so, who do they work for? I don’t know a single person who thinks the time change is a good idea.
Well I was off by a few years, it was during the Nixon administration and the first oil shock, not Carter and the second. That's why the MSM could trumpet how people wanted it at first, then hated it.
Hey, if “right” answers in mathematics are racist, so is having the “right” time. I’m kind of getting suspicious about speedometer readings, too.
There is not an S at the end of the word SAVING.
“Hey, if “right” answers in mathematics are racist, so is having the “right” time.”
Not to speak about the “right” temperature for da Erf....
“There is not an S at the end of the word SAVING”
Say who?
Introduce 1/2 hour times zones....

I have an old analog clock on the nightstand that ticks. But I look at my iPhone first when I wake up. So I see two different times and that gets confusing until that first cup of coffee. I’ve still got two digital thermostats, a digital microwave clock, a digital stove clock, a digital car clock, and a digital sprinkler controller to reset by hand. Plus an analog wall clock and my nightstand clock.
It just dawned on me I haven’t done the car or sprinkler controller yet. And I thought I was done.
I don’t mind the actual change; it’s all the clocks that drive me nuts. At least the phone, iPad, MacBook and alarms system all do it automatically.
I like the 10 minute per month method myself. Each month, advance or move back the clocks 10 minutes at a time.
Or make there be 48 hr/day.
There is no saving actually involved so the first 6 letters are wrong also.
Why make DST the standard? EST and other standard time zones are set in relation to Greenich Mean Time. Keep standard time an dump DST not the reverse.
In northern latitudes, school kids will be going to school in the dark, waiting for buses if DST through the winter. A little less pronounced in FL. Kids waiting in the dark AMS was very unpopular when Nixon first invoked it in 1973 ( height of Watergate) during the first energy crisis , the thought was it would save energy.
I’d support leaving standard time in place permanently. Why does it have to be a bill for daylight savings time?
