This is what the Senate is focused on today?
I’m with you, this will cause more global warming, what the heck are they thinking? đ
Vote âem out! âStandard Timeâ year-round if anything.
Northern WA no like (Sunrise @ 9am):
Will they compensate us for the hour of time we will lose forever if they do this.
âChanging the clock twice a year is outdated and unnecessary,â Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida said.
...great! Thanks Scott! Now...let’s get back to more boring items like gas prices and drilling. Schmuck.
No one has yet been able to coherently explain to me what is the matter with sun time
As far as doing us a favor about resetting our clocks, if they had never done it in the first place there wouldn’t be a problem. Government creates a problem and then solves it and you get the shaft
Damned idiots
What about Arizona, which exempts itself now from daylight time? Will states still be able to exempt their state?
I think Hawaii also stays on standard time year round?
High noon will no longer be at noon.
The World may burn, but the U.S. Senate can do this!
(Please clap.)
They did this during the 1970âs to supposedly save fuel. The problem was the long period of dark mornings for kids going to school.
DST? No, it is illogical. Changing clocks, timetables, programming software = waste. The correct solution is STANDARD time, all the time. It is called Standard for a reason.
I’m fine with renaming what is currently called “Daylight Savings Time” to “Standard Time” and keeping it year round. I’m NOT fine with being robbed of after work daylight in the Summer. What currently passes for “Standard Time” should be renamed to “Obsolete” and eliminated. No more “falling back”.
This has been tried before and failed. I know there are members of Congress who are older than I am, so at least some of them ought to remember the Emergency Daylight Saving Time Energy Conservation Act of 1973, a year-round DST plan signed by President Nixon to ease the energy crisis. I like DST during the summer because I would rather have an extra hour of sunlight in the evening when I am awake to use it rather than in the morning when I am still asleep. The problem with DST all year is that, at least in areas farther north, the sun rises very late during the days of the year with the shortest hours of sunlight. In high school in 1974-75, I had to catch the bus around 7:10 and I walked to the bus stop by starlight. That was in St. Louis, which is not that far north. As I recall, sunrise could occur as late as 8:00, maybe later. That wasnât a problem for me, but I wouldnât want to send smaller children out in the dark like that, especially these days. Anyway, I believe that concern is why this experiment was ended. Despite the bipartisan gushing on this, not even a mighty act of Congress will give us more sunlight to enjoy all the time.
I am sure that somebody in Washington could have done a little research into this — maybe by picking up a copy of “The Farmers’ Almanac,” - -but, hey, it is Washington after all.
About time they did something right
This is a great idea. Very beneficial. Should have been done years ago.
Bad, bad idea. Parents of kids at bus stops want the extra hour of daylight in the morning, not evening.
Leave it up to government to screw up something this simple. Idiots.
That’s hysterical - burns your grass.
