I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

Sounds like what you hate is the return to standard time. I agree. Florida was considering going to 100% DST, but didn't pass it this year.

Seems odd that it has to go through congress when it only involves Florida. ![]() (11-05-2018, 03:01 PM)Rico Wrote:(11-05-2018, 02:26 PM)MalabarJag Wrote: Sounds like what you hate is the return to standard time. I agree. Yeah... of course congress has been awfully busy. I was actually hoping this would happen though. I like the "fall back" and then never "spring forward" idea personally. I hope it gets passed through before the change again lol (not even sure if that's how it works, but that's how I'd like it.) Didn't Bush (and congress) also change when DST occured? Like pushed it up or back a week? Funny thing, "time". So easily manipulated by humans.

Changing the time here screws with other states, so it goes through Congress. Personally, I think the idea of permanent DST is ridiculous, but I can see why the theme parks would want it.
Imagine 100% DST here in Florida.
Monday Night Football would start at 9:15 pm even if the Jags are playing at home since the NFL is committed to an 8:15pm start time for the east coast. The workday would be quite tricky in setting up meetings with out-of-state entities .... always having to remember NY is 1 hour behind for 6 months and California is 4 hours behind Kids at the morning bus stop would be hanging out in the dark for most of Nov-Dec-Jan I used to hate turning the clock back when I was young and active --- now i'm just old and want to get home and watch netflix or something so I'm ok with the current method of setting the clock back.

We need about 4 time zones in the lower 48 ... Pick them, and stay with them.

In Hawaii's case, it's because they're so far behind the rest of us anyway that there's no point. In Arizona's, it's because no one there wants an extra hour of daylight in the summer, and can you blame them? Why is this in political? Has it always been here?

Here in Ohio, when we fell back, it starts getting dark at 5:30 p.m.! I feel like I'm living in Alaska! It makes driving way more dangerous for people getting off of work and I for one, am tired all the time. It wasn't like that before the time change. This sucks!

Is someone worried about offending vampires? |
