For a time I owned a delivery business and was on the road in a large truck by 6am …. Driving dark roads in the winter was never the most fun activity, and having to wait until 830a for the sunrise was a definite no from me. 

It doesn't snow in Florida... They don't give AF.😕😞

DST should have been made permanent decades ago.

 

 

 

 

Having kids not have enough time to go play outside after school and instead sitting around staring at their screens for hours isn't worth it.

What’s a few dead kids from getting hit by cars, as long as they get playtime. 🙄

Exactly!  Like the railroads and farmers didn't get it right with Standard Time back in the 19th century...

 

The cows 🐄 want the hour of light in the evening. 😕

What's 75 million screen addicts that can't problem-solve or think for themselves, as long as they don't have to wait til 8:15 to go to school.

We should probably just lock them in a room full of cotton 18 hours a day to be safe

In my city, it would improve the gene pool.  Despite the city having sidewalks and using sidewalk plows to clear those sidewalks during the winter, too many kids (and their dumbass parents) regularly walk in the streets. 

 

// sarcasm off

 

Seriously, in my area, the rural and suburban kids all get picked up by buses.  In the city, most kids actually do use the sidewalks.  More importantly, this is whitetail deer country.  Rural, suburban, urban -- nobody with half a brain drives carelessly before/around sunrise or sunset because smacking a deer is a very real possibility.

Well when you put it that way…your argument just sounds more ridiculous. 🙄

I don’t really care which one they would pick.  Decide on one or the other, set it and leave it.  I think folks would adapt pretty quickly and never think about it again.

The problem is the Earth’s axis tips; they need to put a big-ass come along on the moon, run a line there, and straighten us out. That will be easier than getting Congress to agree to do anything. 

 

Excuse me?

I had no idea this topic would be so polarizing. I honestly thought most folks would be indifferent and the thread would die after about 4 replies.

So bars will now be open an hour later? Cool.

I was born on StandardTime, so my life will be one hour shorter?

 

Thanks! 

 

People born on DST get an extra hour. 😏

More gig money? 

Nah. Bar owners aren't that generous.
