But it can never be that simple

I'm personally for moving it. Just means you have to adjust your activities year round, but the jumping back and forth deal is silly.

Do away with daylight savings time and leave the time on the scale it is now. More hunting time in the fall after work.

To confirm that not making the time change does not negatively impact the sun's natural rise and set.

Only thing left after that is to implement a new Daylight Savings Time Removal tax.

Can we stay on whatever time it is now? Nothing beats the sun going down around 9 pm in the summers.

Ah

something pointless to bitch about.

I don't want it getting light at 5 AM in the summer. I don't want to drive to work in the dark in the winter.

frick california and all the idiots in it


but that said, i sure wish they would just pick a time and leave it there year round. people tell me either way you choose its an issue with going to work in the dark or coming home from work in the dark.

i simply tell them go half way then and change time by 30 minutes and it stays there permanently, this means the differences in time it gets daylight or dark is only 30 minutes off from when it it now during the whole change back and forth BS.

if jimmy carter hadnt allowed the energy crisis with his liberal policies and foreign policy weakness, we never would have had democrats trying to fix something that didnt need fixing all in the name of saving energy.

In not sure why this is so hard. Most of Arizona don't observe daylight savings time, and they are fine.

Later daytime is definitely awesome. Don't know why they need a task force. They could just pick up the phone and call Arizona.

The only problem that I can see is that most agricultural stuff starts at like 4:30-5am. They would just need to make some changes so it wouldn't be dark so long

Louisiana is so predictably corrupt that it's stranger than fiction.

The blatant "we're going to take some more tax dollars in our pockets for a 'study' that won't really have a final conclusion" is just absurd.
