Those in Favor of Daylight Saving

[grip]

I think it's long outlived its original purpose and is a useless pain in the ass.

Permanent daylight saving time? America tried it before ... and it didn't go well

About five decades ago, the U.S. tried to make daylight saving time year-round – and public opinion of the change quickly deteriorated.

I wrote and posted a letter to my US Representative within 10 minutes of reading about the Senate's action. I hate when the clocks change.

I support ending clock switching. Choose either DST or standard time and make it permanent.

 

[BirdinHand]

Really don’t care either way.

 

[roguenuke]

I don't really care but I would prefer to keep it how it is. I do like having both benefits of the different times and the time switches do not affect me. (It's a frickin Saturday night/Sunday morning, sleep in a little or wake up a little early.)

I do think though it would be funny if a lot of people wrote in to ask the House to go to standard time, and that is what they chose to vote to keep us in, and it started a nice little conflict between the House and the Senate over which it should be so we ended up with neither, staying as it is. Doubt this will happen, but I can dream.

A huge plurality of Americans are incredibly (and irresponsibly) sleep deprived. Every time we change clocks, a lot of them turn into walking catastrophes for the few days following. Auto accidents, ER visits, workplace and medical error rates explode. It's recommended to keep to yourself and not to put your life into other people's hands during clock changes.

You dont have an option to vote for DLS. Or for Standard Time.

I would have voted for permanent DLS.

Eh, hype. We went through 10 time changes on the way out to the Gulf and ten coming back 5 months later when we did WestPacs. Didn't notice any significant changes in how people were, accidents working on the ship. I just think this is more of correlation and some irresponsibility.

In honesty though, it doesn't bother me if they change it or not.

I wouldn't mind it staying DST, but being an early bird, the sunrise after 8 am in December kind of sucks. Of course, it's that or sunset at 3:50 in the afternoon. December kinda sucks. Good thing we've got Christmas lights.

 

[molten_dragon]

My preference would be DST year-round. Year-round standard time would be better than what we have now though.

Ask your Congressman to pass a bill to end DST. That's my goal is to convince enough people to convince the House to pass the bill for standard time.

Standard time is set wrong, DST is better at any time of the year.

 

[Court Jester]

We should simply all be on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)--- adjusted regionally to time zones here in the USA (Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific. A "standard time" was first adopted around the time that railroads were beginning to spread across England and then later North America as a means to accurately schedule transportation, and then later keep track of trains. Jumping around and trying to figure various local times was chaotic.

Daylight savings time adjustment is just stupid. Hours of DAYLIGHT is not determined by where you move the hands of the clock to. The amount of daylight is determined by which latitude you are located on the globe in relation to the changing seasons (you know, the whole Earth tilted on it's axis thing).
For example: If you are a farmer an extra hour of daylight doesn’t help things if you’ve got an extra hour of darkness in the morning when you’ve got to go out and work in a field, so farmers are smart enough to figure out that the clock does not change the amount/length of daylight, and then adjust to the season.

I'd keep Standard time. Do away with DST. But, if it keeps other people happy, so be it.

you are correct-traffic accidents, strokes, heart attacks, etc are all increased -especially after the leap forward. harvesting combines have lights on them. Get rid of DST

Either make Daylight Savings Time permanent, or make Standard Time permanent.

I think time and human effort saved by not having to switch clocks twice a year will easily make up for any discomfort caused by the sun not being up or down or whatever when a given hour occurs.

I'm fine with permanent DST. Spring forward and never falk back.

 

[jpevans]

Dairy cows can't tell time. They have internal clocks.

 

[Nuber]

Mark me down for standard time - no more clock switching.

The older I get, the more I hate the adjustment. Once upon a time I could run a 6 minute mile and bench press 300 pounds, stay up at the bar til 2am and roll into work ready to go at 7am.

Now I can barely bench my body weight, I'd be lucky to crack 9 minutes on that mile, and an hour of interruption to my sleep pattern sends me sideways for 2 or 3 days. Not to mention that bar time is just waistline expansion time nowadays.

Yuck fu if you want to keep changing the clock. I don't like you.

 

[roguenuke]

So many hostile people over this issue just makes me want to start a movement to change the clocks a couple more times during the year, just to shake things up even more.

When i say im all for ending DST, im actually referring to ending the "chaning" the clocks back and forth like the chart shows, my mistake for not being clear

if i had to pick a time BETWEEN standard and DST, I pick DST and keep it. I prefer more daylight in the evenings and couldnt careless about it being darker longer in the morning

Crying about changing a clock twice a year. Whahahahahahahaaaaaaa

Eh. I sympathize with parents who'd prefer their kids not have to walk to school in the dark.
