re: Daylight savings time

Supposedly it means little kids won’t have to stand out in the dark waiting for the school bus. Why that’s so damn important that we have to literally alter time, I cannot say.

Personally I think it sucks when it’s dark by 5:00 PM.

I’ve always heard DST was created for the farmers.

I’ve heard that too. But her school bus thing is the justification for keeping the abomination going.

Thank you Jimmy Carter

That remarkable 21st century neo-conservative conceit that everything bad is the result of a liberal policy. But DST was enacted by President Harding. Hardly a lib.

I like it not still being dark at 6:45am, but I hate it being dark at 5pm.

That’s called longer days in the summer and shorter days in the winter. It’s called earth shifting on its axis every year. Basic science learned at an early age.

(Not directing anything towards you, here.)


Personally, I cannot stand dst. I wish we’d stay on the standard time (current time we’re on as of today).

Oh, look, another idiot bitching about time.

JIMMY frickING CARTER?!

You're dumber than the rest, so you have that going for you.

Thanks Obama!

I get why people would prefer that it not be dark in the morning when it's time to go to work but the payoff of DST is more daylight after work which is worth it, IMO.

Make DST year-round.

DST is a battle of morning people vs. night people. Screw you morning people! I want daylight when I get home from work.

I'm definitely a night person and prefer standard time. It's easier for me to get up in the morning when it's already daylight.

Get rid of it completely.

Same here.

Plus in Louisiana, we have it pretty good no matter DST or Standard. Sunset is still after 5 in the winter.
