kids walking to school or waiting at a bus stop in the dark is a bad idea.

Do children even ride the bus anymore? There so many cars lines up at all the schools seems like no one does ride the bus.

Or we could standardize work and school schedules starting an hour earlier. Working from 7-3 instead of 8-4 gives the same amount of free daylight evening hours as permanent DST. The good thing is that Trump could easily do this for federal employees through an executive order. Once federal employees are on this schedule most states and then businesses would likely follow eventually.

I wish they would spot the difference and just changed it 39 minutes

I can't stand going to work or having my kids waiting for the bus in the dark. Call me old fashioned, but this ain't natural.

Sun coming up at almost 9 is insane. Early morning sun is much better for you

This is a retarded take. The sun is the same regardless of what the clock says. So lucky for you, just because it says 9 instead of 8, it's still the same "morning" sun.

This is the thread where all the people who want fake government time don’t understand why everyone else wants it to be bright in the morning and dark in the evening

The word "evening" derives from the coming of sunset.
On the westernside of the timezones, the sun has already set during "evening" on standard time in December.

Throw in a topography like the north georgia mountains (or parts of tennessee) and it is even darker at 5pm. And we are on the west side of the timezone.

So, no breaks/lunch. Correct?

This legislation will die in the Senate.

As it should.

2) Have schools ope an hour later

They probably should be anyways, regardless of all of this.


Where I am, the latest the sun will rise is still going to be pre-8am if this goes through. The gnashing of teeth around this is hilarious. Stick to one time and stop the changing during the year. I prefer DST as there isn't anything I do in the morning where having the hour of sunlight positioned then is of any benefit.
