I have never noticed any difference in me when we have a change. Maybe it’s because I have always had irregular sleep habits. I like DST because I like having the hours of sunlight later in the day when I can take advantage of them, and not earlier in the morning when I am still asleep.
Good. Time to abolish this lunacy.
We should just leave it one way or the other. I don’t care which. It’s all just arbitrary.
AASM leaders wrote in a statement in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, the country should abolish seasonal time changes in favor of a “fixed, national, year-round standard time.”
If memory serves, Ben Franklin proposed it as a joke, because of his experiences in France (none of the shopkeepers opened up early enough to suit Benjamin).
Standard time is an abomination before God and man. Local solar time only!
Boiled down to its basics, Daylight Saving Time is the government blowing reveille on its bugle an hour early and telling you to get your lazy butt out of bed. If you lived by the sun, you would be out of bed at 4 am and in bed at 8 pm on June 21. DST is an attempt to shift our lives to match the sun more closely than our usual working 9-5 and playing 5-midnight.
You can even look at the standard time boundaries and see they are shifted westward from where they should be strictly geographically. That's because people want late sunlight to match their schedules rather than adjusting their schedules to match the sunlight.
People in lower latitudes, like Florida, south Texas and California, don’t need DST..................
“Daylight saving time results in more darkness in the morning and more light in the evening...”
The sun, and the earth’s rotation does not care about daylight savings time and changing times on a clock does not increase or decrease the amount of light or darkness.
I agree, leave it one way or another. I prefer light into the evening, but I’ll take either.
I hear that there are additional car accidents right around the change. Abolishing DST will save lives!
How many lives have been lost to this murderous madness! To the streets! Let’s march on Washington!
Yes, God, let someone listen and abolish that horrendous practice.
Like cutting a foot long piece of blanket off the top and sewing it on the bottom to create a longer blanket.
local noon should be close to when the sun is crossing the meridian. Standard Time means something and is how we should operate.
Changing clocks twice a year is nonsense. Shifting clocks to “daylight savings time” is arbitrary.
Maybe we should follow our great friends in China and establish a single time zone nationwide.
Doctors, stay in your cage. You screw up life too bad when your voice is too loud. (e.g. Drs. Fauci and Birx)
To be afraid of death is to be afraid of life. -from one of my Latino Freeper friends . . . much wisdom in that
I confess that I think DST is something that is no longer necessary, especially with the shrinkage of the world in general. It is a policy for a different time.
Plus, that extra hour of sunlight is bad for global warming..
That extra hour of sun every day causes global warming.
I will not post this to FB.
Here is the top link you get at the Smithsonian page on FB.
The Smithsonian link on “understanding systemic racism” is straight out of the Marxist BLM playbook.
If I post on FB the Smithsonian article you posted, that WILL lead to some being led to Smithsonian’s FB page and from there to the Marxist BLM crap the Smithsonian is supporting.
Just move the damn clock a half hour and leave it there, sheesh!
Keep daylight savings time all year.
Either way, people adjust withing 2-3 days. It’s not that big of a deal.
