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.

If I have more darkness on my drive to work if it means less darkness when I'm off work it sounds great to me.
I also have a plan for more darkness in africa and less here unless a more resource-efficient solution can be suggested.

Your plan intrigues me. An alternative is to reduce the global sum total of darkness. Solutions that are “final” are known to be effective for such issues.

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

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

I don't care which, just pick one - standard, DST, or a 30 minute shift (permanent to split the difference). Just pick one.

Naw, they're rather gonna make it a two hour switch four times a year just because he mentioned ending it.

Why do we keep DST? Why not go back to standard time permanently?
[–] ratsmack 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
Yes... this is the correct solution.

Breaking News - Dems now love Daylight Savings. Criticize Trump for wasting daylight instead of saving it.

This. "That's cool that you fixed the stupid clock-changing thing, Mr. President... but what are we going to do about the thousands of foreigners who are replacing the people who elected you? ....Bring in more, you say? Donald, I'm starting to question whether you are truly our guy or not..."

Can't wait to see how they spin this as awful and racist.
[–] SkepticalEnthusiast 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Dst is for the farmers. The farmers are all illegals. Elimimating dst is thus persecuting immigrants and therefore racist.
[–] FuckBlackRifleCoffee ago
Why would a farmer give a shit about DST? A owner/farmer doesn't punch a time clock.
DST is for factories.

He also wants to make leap day June 31st, instead of February 29th. He wants an extra day of summer.
