It's BS Daylight Savings Time again...........

changing the clocks twice a year accomplishes nothing, yes, you can go to bed and get up whenever you want, that's exactly what I have said, now you agree, so why not put the time changing to a vote of the people affected by it and let the majority opinion prevail? If you like it, vote for it, if not vote against it, simple.

Basically that's already been done. Every state has had the chance to opt in or out.

did you vote for or against it? It was never on any ballot that I saw. But lets do it again now that we have lived with it for many years. Let the people be heard.

Because I don't want to drive through morning rush hour in the dark in the winter.

you will be doing that starting tomorrow, happy?

There are more hours of daylight in the summer and fewer in the winter.

yes, that is true no matter how we set the clocks

You can go to bed and get up whenever you want. Time is arbitrary. If you don't realize that, you're the sheep.

of course we can and so can you. That's the point, we don't need to reset the clocks twice a year in order to know when to sleep and when to get up. Using standard time daylight in the north lasts until 8pm or so, why do you need it until 9pm?

A few years ago we were in St Petersburg Russia in May and it was daylight until 11pm and the sun came back up at 3am. and they did not reset their clocks twice a year. its a foolish waste of time and effort that accomplishes nothing, saves nothing, does nothing.

there are the same number or hours of daylight regardless of how we set the clocks, we cannot change the earth's rotation, its amazing how many people do not understand that.

That's a good point. Instead of having 330 million people change 3.3 billion clocks, during the "summer" months when there is longer daylight in the northern hemisphere, schools and businesses could just shift their open for business hours to one day sooner, etc., to give everyone the same net effect.

I heard Trump is going to get rid of Daylight Savings Time. But which way will he keep it? I like it in the summer where it stays light out until 9pm. So I'm looking forward to spring forward. Right now it's 7:20 am eastern and it's out. But each day that goes by it gets longer and longer.

I just don't want it to get dark at 8pm in the summer. So which way should we keep it? Like it is now or spring forward then never do it again?
