My local news outlet says legislation to make daylight savings permanent passed the senate and heads to the house.

Ive already contacted my rep to show support for this!


And I like boobies.

While I hate the time change as much as the next man, very few people consider the consequences of daylight savings time in the winter. Most places won't see sunrise until 8:30 am. It might be as late as 9:30 am in some. Thankfully I don't live in a northern state, but that sounds like some cold dark shit.

This has been tried back in the early 70's. It didn't last but a year or two.

So what’s the big problem with sticking to regular time for your time zone? If you want to make more of the daylight get your ass out of bed.

And I recall having to go to high school on the school bus in all that darkness. At that time, it used to begin in February. And it was much worse (i.e. darker in the mornings). I hated it. Now that I'm in FL, the daylight/nighttime hours are more even in general. But, of course, the more north you go in latitude, the worse it gets. I recall being in Seattle in early November and it got dark at 4:10pm That was totally weird. I vote we keep changing the times. I don't mind it. And most of my computers, devices, etc., account for DST and change it automatically anyway!

And, you guys know what I like. ... "And I cannot lie!"

I wasn't arguing for or against it. However, it appears that sticking to regular time isn't an option for the government. They are locked in on the "energy savings" gains we get over the summer by it staying lighter later. So our only options is to keep switching the clocks or go DST all year around. It sounds good on paper. Most people don't realize what they are getting themselves into.

It would probably be instructive to think about how savings time came into being. It had nothing to do with farmers as we've been told as they've always adjusted their schedule to the needs of the farm. Actual clock means little. The cows don't read clocks but they'll come in for milking at the same time... and in proper pecking order too. No, DST was pushed by a bird watcher of all things. So he could watch birds on his schedule and not interrupt supper.

Additionally a big hurdle is children going to school in the morning when it’s dark more often. That was one of the speed bumps last time we got serious about it.

I recall hearing that it actually started as a joke by Benjamin Franklin. From the Wiki Article on DST:

The idea of aligning waking hours to daylight hours to conserve candles was first proposed in 1784 by US polymath Benjamin Franklin. In a satirical letter to the editor of The Journal of Paris, Franklin suggested that waking up earlier in the summer would economize candle usage and calculated considerable savings.[1][2] In 1895, New Zealand entomologist and astronomer George Hudson proposed the idea of changing clocks by two hours every spring to the Wellington Philosophical Society, as he wanted to have more daylight hours to devote to collecting and examining insects.[citation needed]

Why can’t they just start school an hour later?

That would set off a whole bunch of issues like, parents needing to arrive at work an hr late since they have to either stay at home with their kids and/or drive them to school (or to the bus stop) an hr late. It could change "Rush Hour" considerably.
 
I'm guessing people forget that you naturally get more light during the summer so just leave it as it is supposed to be, 12pm is well noon day and you will naturally have more hours of light in the summer and less in the winter without all this B.S. of changing clocks and messing everybody's bodies up.
