A yes the week long period where articles about time changes flood the news and then get forgotten.
Call me when they switch to metric time.
Until then, I’m outta here.
I’d rather have daylight in the evening during the winter them in the early morning. Really sucks leaving work in the dark.
I’m of the opposite opinion. I hate when I have to wake up while it’s still dark outside, it makes me feel tired all day.
I can see that, it would be tough to wake up in the dark, and there are more accidents in the dark. I still want daylight after work.
A daylight savings time fell on my foot at work one time… that was a whole mess of workman’s comp, OSHA and all that.
I don’t enjoy trying to go to bed at 9:30PM during the summer and have the sun blaring thru my window. I’m fine with standard time.
The thing is, you have to look at sunrise too. Would you really want the sun beaming at you at 4:30 AM in the morning during the Summer Solstice ?
Switching is worse than either. It needs to stop.
I thought we had voted to end it. Did I dream that?
Googling it, it looks like it never got all the way through the legislature. Ugh…
Mitch McConnel shelved it during Trump’s presidency, iirc or maybe that’s just a fever dream.
My state has already passed legislation to stay year round in DST, if only our freaking Congress would approve it.
Personally I’m up at 5 anyway and my kid has to be up by 6 for school. But in a previous no kid life I wouldn’t prefer that either. Even within Eastern time zone there’s a difference between sunset times between a western edge in Kingston TN and Boston MA. No matter which way we go, someone is going to be dissatisfied.
We should just set the entire world to UTC and be done in with it. There’s no reason to keep an arbitrary unique time for each geographic zone anymore
