DST is way better. Light at night, dark in the morning. Awesome. Then again, I’m a yuppie and not a farmer.

An email I got from a colleague today:
Good Morning All,
According to some website thing that pops up on my computer every morning and won’t stop we have a new safety topic for today, specific.
Effects of Daylight Savings Time:
Heart attack, so let’s take the elevator today.
Increased Miscarriages
Higher Workplace Injuries: The rate of workplace injuries the Monday after DST Increases by 5.7%. So, Let’s be real careful folks.
Depression: Probably from being at work . . .
More Car Accidents: Site peeps sleepy, depressed, etc. cuz had to go to work . . .
Moral of the story, we are not safety conscious because we came to work!

Yet somehow Alaska manages to do shit with the sun going nuts year around. I don't buy it. Dark days in the winter and Sunny nights in the summer.

It's a stupid idea to begin with. We are no longer an agrarian society and we have electric lights. If it's that big of a problem for you, just get up earlier.

Farmers don't punch a clock, they work when there is work needing to be done and stop when it's finished, it doesn't matter if the clock says 6am or 3am.
DST was introduced as a wartime measure to save fuel and kept for the benefit of factories.

Agreed. Change your own sleep times. Want to change how early/ late your business is open? Just do that as you please.don't fuck with my time. Don't fuck with everyones time. Dont fuck with time in general

One of the reasons to switch back to standard time is so that little grade school kids are not going to school in the dark. If you stay on daylight savings time all year, kids are walking to school buses, walking to schools in the dark in the morning during Winter.
If anything, stay on standard time permanently, but then people hate it that in the summer time, the sun is rising at 4am.
I don't think anything will get passed. Can't have little kids wandering around in the dark in the morning trying to find their bus stop.....and too easy for child predators to abscond with little kids under the cover of darkness....and as we know, child abduction, is a huge problem in this country.

It's actually dangerous at this point. People driving home at night etc instead of daylight.

2019-03-11 | Trump endorses permanent daylight saving time | TheHill
'“Making Daylight Saving Time permanent is O.K. with me!” Trump tweeted. '
'California and several other states are considering measures that would end the biannual clock changes between standard and daylight saving time. '
'Rubio introduced a similar measure in 2018. '
' That bill did not advance in the Senate. '
