Having spent the majority of my life in places/countries that don't, or didn't up until recently, observe DST, I can say I really prefer regular time.

Always found it interesting in parts of LatAm where there was no DST how much more activity there was between say about 6am and 8am as compared to the US. On a personal level I have always preferred that. Got used to starting work at 6:00-6:30am and enjoyed being done with the work day by about 3-3:30pm.

Like Don Cecilio, I don't care for it much, but coule tolerate it for 6 months or so. Too long now.

You evil "morning people" are a SCOURGE

---

Got new for you, if you arise at "7AM" during DST you're really arising at 6AM. It's all a mind game. Just leave standard and you get up when you want to. (I know this is a symmetrical issue, but standard time was defined ling ago and is.. well.. standard.

---

Well, considering the "time zone" is just a completely made-up construct, not really, because we make up that it's DST during 8 months of the year and then make up that it's ST during the other 4. So, I'm always getting up at 7 AM in the completely made-up CURRENT time zone construct.

Hell, why are there time zones? Because the railroads needed to be able to standardize their schedules.

Prior to that, noon was when the sun was overhead everywhere. THAT was the OG "standard time".

BTW, the big problem with your suggestion is that JOBS follow the time standard even if I didn't want to...

---

I'd like to go back to noon being when the sun is at its zenith in your location.

With modern cell phones, that would present no trouble at all.

If the Aggie game starts at 3 pm in Aggieland, it would be no problem for a cell phone to translate that o your local time so that you can enjoy the game.

Time zones were just a work around for the railroads. We no longer need them.

---

Well...perhaps.

But, I do meetings with people from all over the world. How do you let them know exactly what time the meeting is?

Or, I want to meet up with a friend in Coppell. My friend is in west Fort Worth and I'm in Rockwall. How do we sync up those times?

GMT or Zulu time (same thing) one time for the entire world. Military and aviation use it

I've used Zulu for lots of stuff in my work (did aerospace/defense for 30 years). But, I was referring to his "noon being when the sun is at it's zenith at your location"...

Which is all it takes to stop it from passing on a unanimous consent request. It has to get in line with everything else for a floor vote.

So what?

It means it's likelihood of passing the Senate drops precipitously.

Locking us into Devil's Time (DT) permanently is peak bureaucrat logic and absolute bad bull.

Messing with the clock to pretend we've mastered time is like cutting a foot off the top of a blanket, sewing it to the bottom, and bragging about the length.

It's completely illogical, no matter which DT is posting about it on the internet.

Glad Tom Cotton is holding the line against this federal mandate before the government tries to regulate the sunrise next.

I'd like to make savings time go away. I like it light earlier and darker earlier as well. It is more natural and better for the human body.

pass the bill. let the states choose!

You could move to the eastern edge of your current time zone
I am only partially kidding because people do not seem to understand stand that what is good for Pensacola Floride is not necessarily good for Odessa Tx

Room in Odessa for you. They have sand, just not like Pensacola.

Thats great when you live in the south, but north of the 45th in the winter you go to work in the dark ans get off work in the dark... more light in the evening would be really nice for a lot of people (especially with kids that want to do stuff after school).

We divided the globe into time zones based on lines of longitude for a reason. The sun obeys the meridian, not federal legislation.

Shifting the whole system just so people feel better about their afternoon schedule is completely illogical. If you want to have a catch or mow the lawn later, just change your own routine. Don't ask the federal government to distort geography for the rest of us.

I understand the concept - i lived several years north of the 61st.

Next thing you know, Congress will pass a bill declaring the Earth flat just to save on highway construction costs.

It's August in the Texas Hill Country. Moving the clock forward won't save you from heat stroke; you'll just be hallucinating under the sun an hour earlier.

This change is not just for me. Have you ever owned a Dog?

Absolutely. All my life.This basset hound operates strictly on sun position and maximum nap efficiency, completely independent of whatever the Senate is doing. If you think a government mandate is going to change a basset's daily routine, you've clearly never tried to move one off a comfortable couch..

I would like to see the breakdown of who is in favor of permeant DST or in favor of permeant standard time. From my personal experience it is usually older people that like standard time, and younger people prefer DST.

---

I will be 45 this week and I prefer standard time. I'm weird though

---

I like standard time too

Well, that's one way to get him to change his vote!

I think we should have all cell phones of everyone in office, they work for me, I expect to be able to call them.

If I ever get a chance to call Trump, the conversation is definitely going to start with "Bruh.....".

ban standard time.

everywhere.

So tired of this argument. After the fall time change, northern parts of the country suddenly makes kids go to school both in the dark and go home in the dark. At least without the time change there was some light at the end of the school/work day that is useable. Instead we don't see the sun at all during weekdays. So in the end it accomplishes nothing but making a ****ty situation worse. Just leave it alone.

Absurdly late sunsets in the winter? It's fall in Denver and the sun has already set by 730. Days will only get shorter. What is he smoking?

Split the difference. Next spring, when DST is supposed to start, spring forward 30 minutes and then lock the clock. I am in the standard time camp but a compromise would give both sides something and everyone wins by no more clock changes.

Well, I guess it ain't happening - again.
