Same. It would still stay daylight until 7:30-7:45pm during the summer. I go bed at 9pm. I'd prefer it to not be daylight until 8:45

Here’s the problem OP.. i didnt even realize we had a time change coming up soon, until i saw ur thread title.. becuase THE ONLY TIME people like you ever bitch and complain about Daylight Savings is right around the time we have a shift…. If yall could just have the tiniest ounce of self discipline and make it a point to try and effect change, to do somehting, ANYTHING other than a week or two before the event- then maybe something might actually change .

We get the same amount of daylight regardless or standard time or DST

We should just bump the previous year’s threads when this inevitably gets posted again annually.

Yep. They tried making DST permanent in the 70s already if I recall correctly and most people hated it.

Make DST permanent. Why? I can get more golf in after work on weekdays and after work into the fall. Golf season usually ends for me right around the switch back to standard time.
I prefer more usable daylight hours after the workday. Daylight us wasted on the early morning.

New solution. Shift 30 minutes. Compromise.

It always amazes me how so many people confuse DST with standard time when advocating for one or the other.

Let’s just say that I have a fondness for having the light streaming in through the windows in the morning.

You're minimalizing it like it's a smaller thing. It's literally the exact same period of time where it would be sunrise at 8am. It's that whole cut a foot off a blanket and sew it back on the top thing. So if it stayed daylight savings year round, that 8am sunrise would also just be for a short period, as you put it.
I worded it that way because, while an 8am sunrise would be for an equally short amount of time, people don’t get terribly bent out of shape by a 5:30pm sunset, while a 7:30am sunrise still sucks arse. Hell, even a 7am sunrise isn’t ideal. Having the majority of the population woken from a dead sleep in the pitch black for a significant percentage of the year is miserable.
As always, it’s why people fricking hated it when DST was made permanent half a century ago.

I know the plant baws roll up to the lot in pitch dark regardless, but the rest of the population has no interest in waking up, getting ready, getting the kids ready, and getting to work/school in the pitch fricking dark. Sunrise at 8am sounds far worse than a short period of time in the winter with sunset at 5pm.

The DST crybabies are getting an early start this year

False.
The correct answer is we need to keep it permanent.

n 2020, Gov. John Bel Edwards signed a bill that would make daylight saving time permanent in Louisiana, eliminating the fall backward that we're about to experience, if and when the federal government authorizes states to do so.
I don't know why we need fed approval for this

I'm sure they don't want a bunch of states changing their time while others don't. It would be pretty chaotic for business, traveling etc. Now whether they truly have the authority to do that is another matter.

I don't care that much about it, but I thought this was kind of the point of daylight savings time, to maximize the daylight. If you wake up and it's still dark or semi dark, you are going to maximize daylight. If you want it to be fully light when you get up, you're wasting some daylight.
