Pragmatism: Rubio sponsors bill to keep daylight savings time year round

[occupied]

There are only about 9 daylight hours during midwinter. Applying savings time then means school will either have to start later or kids will be going to school well before dawn.

Yeah, I understand that was one of the reasons they started moving around the clocks in the first place. But not many kids walk a mile to school anymore. Parents drive them or the school bus picks them up. Even during this time here, it's still dark in the mornings in November, December and January.

My work day starts at dawn and lasts 8-9 hours but for people who do not set their own schedule this would cause some pretty significant problems. I hate the fall time change every year but I realize the necessity of it for a world that lives by the time clock.

I don't know why it would bother working people. I work outside, I'm a truck driver. But if I worked inside, it wouldn't bother me how light or dark it was outside because I wouldn't be in it.

The point I am trying to make is that it's easier to reset the clocks than to move the start of the work/school day for everyone. Every retail business, school, government office, bank etc. would have to adopt winter hours. People are not going to go out and conduct commerce until it's daylight.

Maybe I'm not understanding your point here. Why would we have to move anything? You start at the same time and end at the same time work or school. I don't see why that would have to change any. Daylight savings time is what we will be on next month, not now.

Retail businesses are crucially concerned with being open when their customers want their services and not being open when there is little money to be made. Many businesses already have winter hours because people don't like to get out and about until it warms up a little. Additionally they would have to expand hours in the afternoon to serve customers coming in later in the day. In the end it's little different than going back to standard time in the fall.

Lol, sounds more like a school problem than a time problem.

That's true. I wish we had better options.

FLORIDA — If it makes its way through Congress, a bill filed by U.S. Sen. Marco Rubiocould make Daylight Saving Time permanent for everyone in the United States.

The Orlando Sentinel reports Rubio’s Sunshine Protection Act of 2019 was to be introduced Wednesday. It would make Daylight Saving Time year-round. The newspaper reports that a companion bill was filed in the House by U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan.

If the bill is approved, clocks would be set ahead one hour permanently, giving everyone an extra hour of sunlight in the evening during the winter months.

About damn time too. I don't know why Trump didn't come up with this first. If you want pragmatism all the time, you need to keep Republicans in office.

Just curios as to how many Socialists will be against this; not because it's a bad idea, but simply because a Republican came up with it?

I agree, should have been done before now.

I sure wouldn't miss running around the house changing my thermostat, changing my microwave, changing my old alarm clocks, changing my car clock, changing my stove clock.

Lol, yup or wait 6 months and all good again!

LOL. I would love more input from people here, but I think it will likely be a short-lived thread. From the few replies I got it seems that it's a pretty divided issue; something I wasn't expecting. What I do find a consensus on is that people are sick of time changes period.

Probably because it is harder to call people morons or stupid, never mind someone already did. Lol, to be serious I would rather be on daylight saving time permanently but if not fine. Just pick one or the other and quit fucking with it.

one of the stupidest ideas yet out of DC. Figures you would support the government fucking around with time even.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Thank God.

Hope it passes. So sick of the time change twice a year.

It’s unnatural.

I think Arizona already does this. Anyone in AZ to tell us if it has affected you one way or another?

Az does not change at all, they keep the real time all year around and it is heaven! Same with most of the world. Lived in Japan for more than 5 years and time never changed, which is how it should be

They were the ones that fucked with it in the first place. Daylight savings would give us daylight later in the day is all. What is "real time" anyway?

Yes, they did fuck it up in the first place, and your solutoin is to make the fuck up year round vice just part of the year?

Well, since DST is when we move the clock and then move them back when DST is over, real it is anything but DST. Real time is what the rest of the world uses.

Do you have small kids or ever worked shift work that required to you go to bed early in the evening? Sunlight till 9:30 is not a welcome thing for them.

Yeah. Had the OP kept the dopey partisan slam out of the thread opener, I’d have had no reason to go there. He didn’t have to do that if he wanted a discussion about daylight savings. It was his choice.

Oh hell, I really don't care about that. I myself have had many go arounds with Ray on here. In the end I want and I believe both you and he want what would be best for most. Even though we disagree on stuff.

How is Rubio a Senator when Rick Scott is the Senator for FL? How does that work? He's not a state senator, wtf gives? Ohh, he's there til 2022.

He's a junior US Senator for Florida. Not a member of the US Senate in DC.

That's the best thing you've ever said. Your understanding of who's who and what words mean is unparalleled.

Rubio is not the "Junior" any longer. Rick Scott is. They are both US Senators.

Oh and I'm far from a know it all unlike you.

Yup. . I asked one of my co workers. He was wrong so I was wrong. Unlike you I can admit when I make a mistake. You never admit you are wrong about anything. Sheeple.
