Everyone

Nope.

I work nights. Late sunrises works out pretty well for me. Sun later in the evening at least gives me some a chance to have some of it.

The comical arguments are the ones that say dumb shite about duck hunting or deer hunting times.

Personally, i would just enjoy seeing the crying from that group of people about how they can’t duck hunt till later in the morning or get out of the stand after 8pm.

It should end the weekend after Labor Day, and shouldn't start until Memorial Day weekend, if at all. Standard time FTW !

DST should end the weekend before Halloween. What kid wants to trick or treat when the sun's out

Used to end in October. Bush changes that in 2005.

We should keep the clock constant, but schools and businesses should adjust their start times to the daylight depending on their location.

You think most duck hunters want earlier sunrises?

Of course it doesn't, but by the clock it makes it more useable(stores, working outside, etc)

The stores and businesses can have winter hours that are different from their summer hours.

We don't need the gov to do that.

Standard for the win.

This x1000.

I'd bet 5 bucks the decrease in kids trick or treating correlates with when DST got moved back.

I understand the argument that you don’t want kids sitting at the bus stop in darkness.


I don't, not when most school bus routes for elementary aged kids start between 5:30 and 6:30am. That's dark regardless of CDT or CST. I say pick one or the other and live with it. Like has been stated already, you're not making the day longer. Business, work and school hours can be adjusted for their own need as necessary.

Yes. Especially since it was earlier and Trump changed it.

Fricking hate that it’s dark so late onto the morning.

Slo4Chubbies will be here to tell you that even with the authority to change this, you can't because the sun was already doing DST in this election cycle so you'll need to wait until there is never an election preceding an authorized change...or something as annoying and repetitive.

Back before you could get stock quotes on your phone most of the farmers around here would knock off around 3 and go hang out at the Edward D. Jones office.
