We got nailed by a 10% increase on our energy bills last Oct. Think what that means when the AC is running about non-stop now. Everything else is skyrocketing in price and SS increases never keep up. But by all means let's wring our wrists again over this clock setting nonsense.

Most of my clocks do it automatically as do our phones and computer. I have to reset my oven and microwave which takes at least 15-20 seconds. Then one more in my car.

Oh the humanity..........

It takes me a good two weeks to adapt each time.

But I'd rather see Standard Time used year round rather than Daylight Savings Time.

I want it to get dark late in the Summer.

Because that's when it gets dark where I live now.

Where do you live? It sounds like a dream!

Trust me, it's no dream when it's 90 degrees until 10:00 p.m. with humidity out the wazoo.

which is just barely still in ET vs CT. It bugged me out being there in summer with the sun finally starting to set around 9:30 pm!

In the furtherest western parts of central time in Texas, the sun sets around 9:15 pm. But those towns aren't in South Texas. One town called Texline, the sun sets at 9:13, but that's north of Amarillo and on the border of New Mexico.

I would have wanted DST year round so I could see at least an hour of daylight in Winter. Now, I don't care as much.

It wouldn't come close to making up for all the damage republicons have done, but if they can at least just make DST permanent, there would be one good small accomplishment.

I don't need it to be light at 4:30 am. I need light at the END of the day, when I'm free from work. It is also better for taking my dogs to run when it's not yet so damn hot. Thanks to climate change, that is only gonna get worse.

And why would you make 'the time' permanently be something that is not the actual time. Days are shorter in the winter, longer in the summer. Always have been always will be. Deal with it.

The use of local solar time became increasingly awkward as railways and telecommunications improved.[2] American railroads maintained many different time zones during the late 19th century. Each train station set its own clock making it difficult to coordinate train schedules and confusing passengers. Time calculation became a serious problem for people traveling by train (sometimes hundreds of miles in a day), according to the Library of Congress. Train drivers had to recalculate their own clocks in order to know departure time. Every city in the United States used a different time standard so there were more than 300 local sun times to choose from. Time zones were therefore a compromise, relaxing the complex geographic dependence while still allowing local time to be approximate with mean solar time. Railroad managers tried to address the problem by establishing 100 railroad time zones, but this was only a partial solution to the problem.[2]

I was only really focused on daylight savings vs standard time and constant readjusting, not time zones vs solar time vs whatever else one may implement.

This sun setting after 9PM and still twilight crap at 10:30 to 11PM is ridiculous. I don't live in Alaska but summer can feel like it. Plus its dangerous for the kids in the Spring and late Fall. I think that's Standard Time so I like that. It seems more natural. If keeping the clocks where they are now year round, hell no. It'll still be dark at 9AM in the Winter. Hell no to that crap.

If Cotton is ag'in it, I'm fer it.

Summer time in winter is highly stupid. Some people have to learn the hard way though.

Can’t walk dog until 8pm most nights. I like to wait till temp goes down enough to open windows and some nights that’s not until midnight or later.

Then, as the pile of grade school kids' dead bodies gets high enough, they change their minds.

I could have sworn Trump supported Standard time not Savings time. Either way, the switching is ridiculous and I prefer it staying light later. It's depressing when it starts getting dark by 4 in winter.

I don't think he understood the difference and probably just didn't want to have to "change clocks twice a year".

DST is good for his golf courses and swimming pools. It's also popular with the theme park industry, MLB, etc.

I don't need the sun out until 10PM, personally.

Big deal. I love morning darkness when I leave for work at 6:00 AM.

was not safe.

As noted, there was a reason why that last attempt from the '70s was repealed. If it had worked the first time there would not have been the need to change it back to the twice a year change, which actually corresponds better with the equinoxes.

Let their parents take necessary measures. Or adjust the school day. After decades of accommodating them, I'm tired of it. It's my turn to be accommodated.

as evidenced by :gestures around wildly:

But this has been tried AND THEN REVERSED twice in the past century. The Nixon "energy crisis" era and also earlier during WWII (called "War Time" ).

But this time will be different because something something...

will be wrong all year if they do.

I guess it depends on school times, job times, and how far north or south you live.

How did this ever get back on anyone's priority list? Especially since there are many, many other things to work on first.

I hate the time changing. I do not care what time they pick, just stick with it and people can adjust their work or school schedules around the natural daylight hours. I lived in Arizona for a few years and it was so amazing not to go through that ridiculous disruption. California passed a proposition to not change the time a few years ago- in fact my mother told me they passed one also before I was born in the ‘50’s. But our requests to stop the nonsense have been ignored. I did not know how Arizona was able to swing it.

I am really going to hope that this passes. Removing a completely unnecessary human created stress is actually wonderful. And so way overdue!

as I actually would like a 27 hour day.

I used to hate, I mean absolutely hate the "spring forward", even though I'd also like to spring 2 hours and just leave it there.

Then one year, I forget where I heard this, on Saturday I changed all my clocks ahead then did everything according to that time and Sunday it was no big deal. By Monday morning I was used to it. So that's what I do now every year.

I'd still like to leave it so it's dark later in the morning and light later in the evening. If I move again, I intend to move north and near the west end of a time zone. Others might want to move to the east end of a time zone.
