no more daylight savings

[QChawks]

maybe

 

[DFSNOLE_rivals]

Count me in the minority who doesn't like sunrise being that late.

 

[TarponSpringsNole]

Cool.

 

[MuscoHawk]

I don’t care if they get rid of DST or make it permanent. Just pick a lane and stop changing the clocks.

 

[AFM22]

Bet they don't change it.

On the first day of winter 2026 sunrise time would be 8:38 in Iowa. I don't understand the desire to have more daylight after work in winter. It's too cold most of the time to do outdoor activities anyway. I'd rather have it be light when I go work. It's different for those of you in warmer climates.

I don't really care now that I'm retired other than I have some concerns about students waiting at bus stops in the dark and teenage drivers navigating slick roads in the dark on their way to school.

 

[cigaretteman]

Terrible idea.

 

[Rifler]

Hope they don't do this,.. I actually like the changing of the clocks.

School children walking to school in the dark doesn’t sound good. I agree.

Snowflake = I just can’t mentally cope with the clock changing an hour.

do these people blow their brains out in airports when they fly to a different time zone?

 

[JayDeeSC]

Boo. I like early dark times in the winter.

I want sun when I wake up, driving to work in the dark is depressing

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

I hope this passes. Darkness setting in at 5PM is awful.

 

[JWolf74]

I agree with Northern. And now I feel gross.

Maybe if you navigated through a thread without insults you wouldn't feel so gross.

Can we also get rid of time zones while we’re at it?

 

[JWolf74]

I'm fine with time zones, but states shouldn't split. The entire state should be in the same time zone.

China is China,.. I think we are smart enough to deal with both time zones and daylight savings.

That wasn’t the point but thanks for your input.

That's why I laugh at all the doom articles that come out around that time every year about all the "health risks" a time change engenders.

I"m like, if it were that bad, people would be keeling over after traveling a couple timezones constantly.

 

[GesterHawk]

Bet they don't change it.

What are the lines on DJTJ's betting, I mean prediction, sites for this?

 

[Gibbs_dontbanmetom]

How many years has this been brought up now with nothing happening? Just set it between the two and call it good.
Honest question, does anyone actually like changing the clocks twice a year?

I'm the opposite. Mornings typically suck because I am working. I don't care if it is light or dark. I like more daylight after work when I am doing things I enjoy doing.

Depending on where in winter you live, after school is in the dark currently. So damned if you do damned if you don't?

So is driving home in the dark at 4:00.

[AFM22]

It is, but my point was if China can make it work to make their entire massive country on one time zone (despite one side's sunrise being 10am), we can fit a entire states under one time zone.

Then say that.

 

[JMNSH0]

This is so dumb. If you can’t handle an hour time change 2x a year, you suck and I hope you hit a deer on the way to work, on a motorcycle.

 

[AFM22]

Then say that.

Why stop there? Can we also make the calendar 13 months, 28 days each? We can name the new month “Smarch.”
