Permanent DST is better, though I live on the east side of a time zone. Gets dark way too early in the winter.
Agreed but unfortunately I think if we want to quit it's going to have to change to permanent daylight savings time. However I am encouraged to see atleast a few on here that feel otherwise
No, it's the opposite. States can opt for full-year standard time (like Arizona and Hawaii), but they can't switch to full-year daylight savings time.
Personally I like daylight savings time, but I agree it doesn't serve any real purpose.
I guess I meant if permanent change, the majority would prefer daylight savings time. So if a law would be passed for permanency, they would find a way to make it daylight savings time permanent
It use to be the last weekend in March or first weekend in April why it was changed to the 2 weekend in March is anyone guess…
Really wish they keep it at standard time..

Going tangent to this, I was reading a study about relative productivity of those in different areas of a time zone (east vs. west along about the same latitude). The areas compared were either Mobile or Huntsville, AL, vs. Lubbock, TX. They found those on the eastern edge of the timezone were more productive since they have an earlier sunrise but still worked later into the day. Stuff of that nature.
I live on the west side of a time zone and it still gets dark way too early in the winter.
I like DST. It allows for time to get golf league started earlier \ later into the year. Great to get xtra hours of light for outside hobbies.
I’m ok with sun later in the evening, but I’d also be fine with it being dark earlier and have a cold drink on the porch a little earlier.
I’ll survive.
