Because people are resistant to change.
Standard time is what we need to get rid of. Hate that it gets dark at 5-5:30 now
This, so many people believe that we are currently in daylight savings time right now. It truly stinks getting home at 6pm and it's pitch dark already.Cstrickland05 said:

Agree. I hate that it gets dark so early. Especially when it comes time to start feeding cattle hay.
I usually have to leave work early to unroll round bales before it gets dark.

It's not in (most of) Arizona and Hawaii.Quote:

Why is the standard/imperial system still around? The people who invented it have ditched it. What are we waiting for?
So I can make sure my headlights work as good on the drive home as they did on the drive in.
Daylight saving time is an unnecessary burden on the mind and body.
Depending on your latitude it can start getting dark at 4:30 in the afternoon.
It's unnecessarily disruptive on a number of fronts that the reasons for it don't justify.

Your digging up old threads schtick is dumb, but I am on board with this one.

Because there are 2 types of people. Those who have put a man on the moon, and those who use the metric system.

Well the US is neither
I like standard time
Standard time is the suck
Daylight saving time definitely makes it hard to get things done after five!

Why is that?
In central Texas, the current sunset is approximately 6:43 pm. When we switch back to standard time next week, it will be at 5:43 pm (not accounting for the shortening days).
