Trump wants to end Daylight Saving Time

[DigitalDrifter]

Pick one, and stick with it!

 

[Captain Caveman]

It's the US Congress who is the hold up. I don't know who it profits.

Blah....Magically democrats will suddenly love daylight savings time because Donald Trump wants to abolish it.

I don't care what they pick as long as it stops changing.

Costly?

 

[Fang]

Yes, actually. That is what a want.

The clock positioned so it stays darker to the later hour of the clock.

I love summer when there is still light until 9 pm.

Exactly! I enjoy the outdoors later in the evening in the summer. If they remove DST it will be dark by 8PM June-August. I'd hate that.

 

[Natural Citizen]

The reptilians hate us for our sunlight.

 

[initforme]

I don't know how it's costly that makes no sense. It's babble. But if we get rid of it so be it

 

[Edgetho]

My understanding is that they started DST back in the day because the older kids were needed at home. To help tend to the house, work on the Farm... whatever.

My opinion -- It sucks. It SUCKS ASS.

Talk about the tail wagging the dog, if you want the kids home earlier change the fucking school hours, don't make everybody else accede to your stupid idea.

I HATE DST. Just get rid of it.

 

[Dreadnaught1968]

Hopefully they make DST year round. I have no use for the sun coming up at 4 AM in June.

No doubt. You can actually get shit done after work in the summer, plus it is generally nicer weather.

The extra clock hour of light is very useful.

 

[Dreadnaught1968]

Costly?

Probably for the people who have to call tech support because they can't figure out how to change the time in their car...

Trump is right it is costly. There are business, technical and health reasons for getting rid of DST. But I'd like to keep it permanently which also removes the changing clocks of twice year which is where most of the issues occur.

 

[petro]

I have no problem with changing the clocks twice a year. Working outdoors up here in the north all year it actually benefits me.

Frankly I don't get all the whining about it.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Yes, actually. That is what a want.

The clock positioned so it stays darker to the later hour of the clock.

I love summer when there is still light until 9 pm.

and you would think it keeps the amount of power use way down...

Well, you know it's because they can't handle changing the time on the microwave, and for those with VCR's still flashing 12:00.

The hardships of modern life.

Yeah I'd rather have longer daylight in the evening hours.

So did daylight savings time contribute a buncha money to the inauguration of something? (kidding) 'Cause if we are gonna drop one what we need to lose is standard time (the later one) and keep DST.

You realize changing the clocks doesn’t effect the actual hours of daylight, right?

 

[petro]

No shit Sherlock.
But it changes my start time when the sun rises.
For those of us in the north who see an extreme difference in the amount of daylight between summer and winter and who work outdoors, the changing of the clocks is a benefit.

 

[d0gbreath]

Yes!

I love this!

It sucks when it gets dark so fucking early in the winter. Fuck that.

That occurs when we go off daylight savings time.

 

[ColonelAngus]

If we change or permanent DST the earth’s orbit and revolving will change.

Just like the climate will stop changing if you money to Democrats!!
