A bill we could ALL get behind

If we’re not going to end it outright, then at least add the hour in the Friday AM on Black Friday.

Make that extra hour a marketing gimmick. Put super-duper door busters for that hour only. Totally embrace American commercialism and consumerism.

Or even do it on T’giving Day. Give grandma an extra hour to cook, and the rest of the family an extra hour to travel to grandma’s.

And give me the rest of the long weekend to adjust my internal clock.

Likewise let’s put the lost springtime hour on some long weekend in March. Do it on a Saturday morning. Give us extra time to adjust our jacked-up sleep cycles.

But best of all, let’s just stop with the game entirely.

end it.

No make it permanent. I like it getting dark at 9pm in the summer, I don’t want that changed.

I would be for DST year round if Arizona officially goes into the Pacific Time Zone. Also, all of Indiana should be in the Central Time Zone if DST is year round.

Scientific American

Does Daylight Saving Time Conserve Energy?

Recent studies shed some light on the efficiency of seasonally changing the clocks

Here is a pretty good article that has some of the pros and cons.

Arizona never changes. It’s great!

I 100% agree with ending this stupid ■■■■■■■ ritual of changing the clocks.

However, I think we should adopt standard time as the permanent time.

Naw, I like it being lighter later in the day. It sucks going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark.

Said every Alaskan ever. lol

This is a joke, but the entire country should be on Eastern time. ■■■■ the rest of you. We’re the REAL time zone and you all know it.

Who says the GOP is devoid of brilliant solutions? Some people say jobs are the most important issue right now, but I say America is only a daylight savings ban and a constitutional amendment to protect the flag away from Greatness.

We don’t need daylight saving time in the first place.

Yes we do. Parents don’t want to send their children to the bus stop, or to walk to school, in the dark.

That’s an issue where you live? That sucks. And god knows no child was ever kidnapped and raped when the sun was out. Little known fact, all kidnapper’s skin burns in the sunlight.

It can be a problem anywhere. And no, sunlight isn’t a guarantee but most rational people can see why children are safer when it’s light out, which is why most parents bring their young children indoors when it gets dark.

Enjoying the daylight by stealing an hour on the clock from the night is nice. You get off of work and have an extra hour of daylight. I never imagined that falling back that hour in the fall could place so much stress on people that it requires this bill to be introduced? That said, I’m fine with what ever helps others.

I’m not the one who went with sundown equals child rape. A rationale that I would have gone with was “less likely to be hit by cars”. But we’re apparently different people.

Cars as well. Children do actually get abducted and raped.
