Get rid of daylight savings time

[protectionist]

I think I heard that Trump wants to get rid of daylight savings time. Well, the sooner the better. Maybe in cold, northern states, they might like it, but here in Florida, it is HATED, statewide. In our blistering hot summers, the last thing we need, is another hour of sunlight.

Time change 2025 set to spring forward. Will Trump end daylight saving time in US? When DST starts

What date does daylight saving time start? Do we gain or lose an hour in March? Will Trump end DST? What we know about when clocks spring forward in 2025.

I would get rid of STD time and make DST the new Standard. I don't really care if it's hot where you live. Location is a choice.

The amount of hours of sunlight is the same regardless of what the clock says.

There is that.
It makes more sense to just do away with dst. Standard time for everyone.

Its the month we are trying to adapt to the change that throws us.

Now that must have taken you quite some time to figure that out. Pheeeew!

You're the one who said the last you thing you need is another hour of sunlight, genius.

This should not have been necessary to say. Lol

Yes it should. Read the first post in this thread. lol

Looks like it needed to be explained to you, because you clearly said.....the last thing we need, is another hour of sunlight.

Trump is on record that if they make the time permanent year round, whether than is standard or DST, he'll sign the bill. But he can't do it via EO. It has to be passed by Congress. And the current legislation that is law allows the individual states to use whatever time--standard or DST--that they want. I would imagine a new DST real round for Washington DC would also do that.

We live in New Mexico but in our former business often worked in Arizona. New Mexico goes on DST. Arizona does not except for the Navajo/Hopi reservations that do. As we are often back and forth across state lines and across boundaries into the Indian country, it can be a real challenge trying to figure out what time it is. Or it was back then. Now I suppose our phones running on atomic clocks would probably make that a lot easier.

But DST year round would be a real blessing for us. On December 21 the sun sets before 5 p.m. That makes it really difficult for those of us who shouldn't drive after dark. We can't go out for dinner even early and have to arrange our appointments so we can be home by that early sunset.

No it does NOT look like that, unless you're an idiot.
the last thing we need, is another hour of sunlight. > during the time that we are ordinarily are up and about - needed to be explained to you, huh ?

I am perfectly happy changing the clocks twice a year in the north. It just works better for me working outdoors and trying to avoid full rush hour.

In New Mexico (one of the HOTTEST states in America), have you ever thought about the HEAT. That is the jist of the OP, not driving cars.

Don't get all Triggered because you can't properly convey a sentence.
Just learn to become a better writer.

You have the same amount of hours in the day and the same amount of heat and cold regardless of how the time system is done.

My sentences are fine. Surgery is available for your brain.

Wow. Another one who needs to have this explained. Pheew!

The point is WHEN WE ARE UP & ABOUT DOING THINGS - in the sunny heat or in the dark reduced heat. Get it ?

One hour more or less affects the amount of sunlight we have, but doesn't really affect the amount of heat and cold we endure. The USA is well equipped with both heaters and air conditioners and the time of day give or take one hour isn't going to make that much difference.
