Here is Trump's opportunity! He needs to fulfill his promise to terminate the changing of daylight savings time.

Next week we spring forward and start daylight savings time. Trump needs to sign an EO afterward to keep us on it.

So you want an executive order to overturn a federal law? If that is the case, is there any law he can't overturn with an EO?

EOs are so out of control now it really doesn't matter how he gets it done. Just make it happen.

No. The grown ups need to start doing things the right way.

I've got two direct reports in Arizona.

It annoys the hell outta me when I'm trying to schedule recurring meetings across multiple US timezones.

Why do we insist on continuing this clock-changing practice that damages our health for no real benefit? It doesn't even conserve electricity, which is its purported purpose.

This is one that can be legislated. Personally detest EO's. Unfortunately they are needed now…..but at some point we need to stop using them.

I basically do not do it. I show up at work at 7:30 AM during standard time and 8:30 AM during DST.

Yes, just get it done and people will love it come the fall when they don't have to change back.

Am I the only person who DGAF? Just move the clock forward or back twice a year. It's crazy how some people have made this into their life's crusade since about 2-3 years ago.

I'm fine with or without it, but I am curious as to the reasons people make this such a huge topic. Why does it bother so many of you so much?

I can't wait to spring forward. An extra hour of day to get things done, be outside, play golf, etc.

Wish it would stay that way all year.

What Happened the Last Time the U.S. Tried to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent?

Quote:
For ten months in the mid-1970s, America's clocks sprang forward and never fell back.

Year-round daylight saving time (DST), signed into law by President Richard Nixon in January 1974, sought to maximize evening sunlight and, in doing so, help mitigate an ongoing national gas crisis. But while the experiment initially proved popular, with 79 percent of Americans expressing support for the change in December 1973, approval quickly plummeted, dropping to 42 percent by February 1974

Totally agree with you. I bet many of these same people jump in a plane to travel at least one time one a way for business or vacations and never give it a second thought.

Just leave it at SDT. We lived that way for years. And it keeps you from not eating dinner at 9:45 PM at night when you come in from working outside at dark. So much more healthy.

There's nothing that suggests people are healthier on standard time. I would argue the reverse effect. The more time for activity after work, the better.

Those that work sun up until sun down are far less than those who get off at a relatively set time each day regardless.

Choice 1) Daylights savings year round

Choice 2) Clocks move twice a year and keep it as is.
























Choice 3) Standard time year round.

Start with the truth. It's not daylight-saving time. It's daylight shifting time. I have it on good authority, my own eyeballs, that not a minute, or even a second is saved. Instead, the time that is appointed for the sun to rise and set has been arbitrarily shifted by government force.
