This would be about the only good thing Republicans have done ever if they pass this. Hope they don’t let states opt out. When I lived up north by Canada, the logic was “you don’t want kids having to walk to/from school when it’s dark!!” Okay, so… wow, did you know they could change school hours.

Standard Time should be the default. And sadly, we don't even have that. Even our Standard Time has been mucked with. This website is a good source (not mine by the way). https://savestandardtime.com/ Let businesses change their hours instead of making people change clocks.

SHUT THE FUCK UP! OKAY? They vote on this every fucking year and it dies in the Senate. Big Clock is going to lobby this shit until I die. Just shut up. Stop talking about it. Daylight Savings will be in the USA for at least another hundred years.

So in 7 years of office Trump and mooks have done two good things, this and hemp legalization. Good to me, that is. Wait this is Trump times, what will go wrong? I refuse to hope

I need one of those “unpopular opinion” threads. I’m actually ok with it the way it is.

Should split the difference and go with a permanent 30 minute offset just to screw with everybody.

China has one timezone for the whole country - even though it crosses multiple time zones and no daylight saving. It’s that simple. When I lived in Australia, it was crazy. Some states had 30 minutes time difference.

That’s why I shut up before I even read the post.

We should all just use UTC. To be honest. It’s not like noon has to be at 12’oclock everywhere.

Why not standard time?

Standard time is better for health, and much less stupid to have the clock synced to the day cycle

You know, waking up outside of your circadian rhythm can really fuck with you. So, I propose daylight fairness time. Instead of splitting up timezones by hours, we should split timezones by one (1) minute increments. This allows people to most effectively decide their living location to match their own personal circadian rhythm!

Of the two options they could have standardized on they picked the worst one. This literally defeats the point of noon

Boo, the permanent time should be standard time, it’s standard for a good reason.

“Allow states to opt out?” Isn’t this already something under their control? How is this a federally mandated thing? I mean Arizona already doesn’t do it. if its a federal decision just make the change apply everywhere. No one wants every state doing this differently. Think of the poor programmers.

Noon should be noon, not 1.

Ending the clock change is a great idea. The question becomes, do we want to: Go the permanent daylight saving route. Be an hour off from the rest of the world adding to the stack of weird and arguably stupid things the USA does different so we can have a bit of light after work instead of questioning why we’re working our lives away. Also, drastically increase the number of morning injuries and fatalities, especially among children, as schools will be starting in the dark. OR Be sane. It appears Congress has spoken.
