I’d prefer the opposite (regular time remains permanent), but I’ll take either. Because we’re on the western edge of the eastern timezone, it stays light out here (central Kentucky) past ten pm in the longest days.
w000000t!
I wonder how this would affect Arizona, which abandoned daylight savings time some time ago. Will they have to make one permanent switch from standard time?
Oh now that I’m retired
SMH
Why don’t se just shift the time zones on the entire planet, then we could go back to having standard time all the time. And so could the rest of the world.
No.
It never made sense and the "agrarians" all hate the stupid system that is so dumb only a government academic could come up with it.
Set the clocks and be done with it you nitwits.
They clearly don't have the time to deal with this given the current threat facing our nation, climate change.
"Only white man cut one end of blanket off and sew on the other end to make longer"
Why wait?
It sbould never have happened in the first place.
Standard time all of the time is what should be implemented. At noon, the sun should be at or near the meridian (depends on how far one is away from the center of the time zone one is in).
Daylight Savings Time is stupid. Kids in the dark awaiting school buses — poor safety.
This is all for sports.
Spent almost ten years in AZ and loved not dealing with it. In the construction world we just started our work day earlier as heat required. Working a job site 5:30 until 2:00 was a great way to avoid the heat. Concrete placement was overnight anyway so it was never a big deal with most employees.
In the northern part of the country in winter, the sun will come up at 9:00 AM and set at 5:00 PM. Children everywhere will go to school each morning in the dark.
Daylight savings time should be abolished, not institutionalized.
Shouldn’t it be STANDARD time that is permanent? Isn’t that why it’s CALLED “STANDARD”?
Standard because it’s bassed on the highest and lowest points from the equator. 12:00 means sun is highest at noon and “lowest” are furthest from equator at midnight.
Actually this kind of miffs me. “Savings” would mean our high point is at 1:00 pm.

Whatever is best for the American People, rest assured, the domestic communists will vote it down.
Pic one and stick with it. This is ridiculous. If you want more morning light, wake up earlier. If you want more evening daylight, stay up later. Me, I’m NOT a morning person. In fact, I sleep through them. But I stay up until 3 or 4. If I were a democrat I would force the entire population to live exactly like I do.
“Daylight Savings Time” never made any sense. Even the name is nonsensical. You have the same number of hours of daylight on each calendar day of the year regardless of what puny humans do with their clocks. Nobody ever “saved” a single hour of daylight.
I cannot imagine what justifications were made for this when it was first introduced. I’ve heard stories about farmers and school children, but both of them seem to have been “debunked.” (that’s a word I now HATE)
There was a time before light became easier to produce in early American agrarian when Daylight Saving Time made sense.
ummm no. a clock to a farmer is a relative tool since their clocks are the sun, the milking cycle and the seasons...
gt rid of it, but don’t blame it on them
I say we set the clocks “back” both in the spring and fall.
I need extra hours. No more springing forward.
Actually blaming “agrarian” is wrong. In fact farmers DON’T like it.
This started after WWI and the idea of saving energy (greenies oughta love this) by needing artificial light even less.
Didn’t get “permanent” until the ‘30s, of course.
