Daylight Saving Time just needs to be completely eradicated, it makes no sense in the modern day. The problem is that you have this disagreement over "which" time should be the default, either standard time or daylight time (which Canada/the US spend more of the year in than not).

IMO it should just be standard time, emphasis on the word "standard". If you want more daylight hours in the evening for events and such, just start things an hour earlier.

I don't care which way they go. Hell, split the difference and move us to a 30 minute offset if you can't make up your minds. Just stop changing the bloody clocks twice a year. Please!

Oh my state passed a law abolishing it but the federal government stopped it. You want to know why? You want to know the stupid reason why the federal government won't abolish daylight savings? Because polling indicates that half of the people want it gone forever and everybody else wants it there forever.

They literally can't decide whether to always have the clock one way or the other, so we get to split the difference. I don't fucking care. Just pick one and stick with it. Everybody has electric lights anyway, it's the 21st century, we need to move on from this 1700s bullshit.

Great, with scientific evidence backing this we are fucked for ever getting this changed. What we really need is a rising passively racist influencer to get behind the idea to get any support in 2026.

I honestly don't care if we choose permanent standard time or DST. Either one would be better than having to switch twice a year. I'll even propose a compromise: we can try one for a year, try the other for the next year, and see which one works better.

Not doing either because we can't agree on which one should be permanent seems like the worst option.

Who makes money off of Daylight Savings Time?

I don't know, but I know someone is making a fortune off of it somehow and I want to know who. It's the only explanation

don't let trump see this. he will add two extra DST switches per year and rename it

God yes. I don't even care which side of DST we land on. As long as we stop changing the damn clock.

Daylight Saving Time (not Savings). Most people get this wrong and I'm not sure why.

RFK Jr recommends sun lamps during the non-savings hours. Particularly on the arsehole.

We should just turn our clocks back to 2019.

I love daylight savings. I count the minutes until it returns. I think it should be permanent, for health reasons.

As someone who lived in a country with DST and now living in a country without it, it's honestly such a pleasure never having to worry about losing or gaining an hour at an arbitrary time of the year.

sleep experts say that standard time (which shifts daylight hours earlier in the morning) aligns best with human circadian biology.

I want us to go in the direction Canada is going with that. It should be the same time in Washington and Oregon that it is in BC

It’s pretty obvious the American government doesn’t care about its citizens health. Sick citizens = more shareholder profits for their scam corporations

Today has been the absolute worst. Daylight savings shift coinciding with my job becoming absolute trash and my idiotic self doing a Sunday funday yesterday.

Yeah i'm not trusting American anything at this moment.

I hope you never see the light of day again, only being able to beside between the hours of dusk and dawn, chained to your desk dreaming of seeing the sun just once.
