"Daylight Savings Time"

[Looking Glass]

President Trump said he would listen to both sides but is interested in ending "Daylight Savings Time" OR, either everyone On or OFF it.

The California voters voted to stop daylight savings in California in 2020 but the politicians didn't care so we still have it

Like many "Unions," the " Bosses" do not care what the "Rank And File" want.

DST is because of the four Seasons, and getting more work done.

Tilling, planting, harvesting etc? You know the stuff that oh, IDK, ah keeps us all alive. Growing. Food.

In case anyone hasn't noticed. It's cold AF in Winter. Having the sun earlier is nice. Baby Grace loves her morning spot facing South. Nice to have, here in West Texas in Winter.
Plus! Added Bonus! I can get my ancient crippled up ass out earlier to work on my broken infernal combustion fleet of ancientness.

I love long Summer evenings. Same thing but in reverse.
It's hotter than hell in West Texas. It nice to have more daylight to go outside and cool off before Dark Thirty.

Long evening rides towing my dog's on my Scooter in the park. Or vica versa!
Dominate.

You know it doesn't actually change how long the sun is up, right? Farmers can still do that while the sun is up.

Yeah, I get it. The world turns. It's the humans that fuck it up.
Ok now do the Emo kids walking to school in the dark. All dressed in black in the crosswalk, in the split second they look up with the pale faces before SPLAT !°°!

That's not an issue in the southern states but even with DLST kids walk to school in the dark in the northern states

I thought Prop 7 was voted on in 2018 ? Prop 7 allowed the state legislators to vote either to pick either standard or daylight savings time and stop switching back and forth. The state has the power to vote for 100% standard time, similar to AZ and Hawaii, but to switch to 100% DST, Congress must pass it.

Personally, I don't give a shit either way

On ice! In the dark.. lol

It's a timing issue.
I damn near hit a kid one one morning turning South onto Bear Valley Parkway and it scared the living shit outta both of us.

Invisible until they looked up. Thank you Jesus for collision avoidance. And survival of all the ones not avoided.

Most people that don’t want the time change don’t work outside and rely on sunlight. Yes, we do realize that daylight savings time does not extend the daylight, but it keeps this country running at the 7:00am-5:00pm schedule. Doing construction I prefer to start at 6:00am and get off at 2:30pm, sometimes we we start at 5:30am for as long as we have light, in the summer, but if we stayed on Daylight standard time we’d have sun until almost 10pm for awhile - have you ever tried to put your kids down before the sun goes down? In winter I don’t want to start at 8:00am when the sun finally comes up and have to work until 5:00pm to get my 8 hours in, then spend more time in rush hour traffic. Now I’m not home until 6-6:30pm. That kind of kills the family time before bedtime.

As you can tell I’m one of those who prefers to keep Daylight Savings Time.

For the average American it is What it is, BUT!!, if you live on the "Edges" of a State either With Or Without and have business or Social activities in another, it can be severe on missing appointments, ETC. I know people who have two Clocks in their Homes, each labeled for the State they live in and another for the one they work in.

I understand Not the end of the World, BUT!! how about All States, one way or another?

Either way -- '18 or '20, as we've learned, voting for something and actually accomplishing anything are not one and the same. The only thing that vote could have accomplished without federal intervention is to remain on Standard Time 100% of the year.
I suppose if I drove to work in the early AM it might matter, but I do prefer my wife coming home from work or having to stop to shop in daylight versus the dark.

Time change is like an adventure. Twice a year! !°°!
