We've done daylight savings our entire life and now all of a sudden you pussies want to whine about not being able to handle a 1-hour time change. WTF is wrong with you bitches? Y'all realize it will be dark at 6:00 pm most of the year, right?

It's not my problem that they have to work the afternoon shift at Burger King. Put the clock where it belongs and leave it.

Their main complaint is that if it changed then they would have to drive to work in the dark


I think more of it is about kids being on the side of the road waiting in school busses in the dark, personally that's not my argument.

I just prefer my natural clock to be on time with our clock. Midnight is just that the middle of the night, our bodies know this, it shouldn't be 3 hours after dark.

There are studies that show increases in heart attacks and medical issues when we move to DST because our bodies naturally want standard time, it's closest to a natural sun up, wake up, sun down, sleep cycle.

Also seems the earlier hour or 2 of darkness in summer would help cool home Temps some because the sun would be down earlier and when more people are home wanting to cool their home for bed.

you realize it is getting dark around 7:00 now and will continue to push later, even without a time change. It naturally fixes itself over the year. Why does government have to mess with it?

I prefer regular time. In the winter it’s good, it keeps the kids inside and off the streets.

I'll take the trade off of it getting dark earlier with the sun rising at or around the time that I have to wake up.

I thought Louisiana was doing away with daylight savings time?
They’re trying to do away with standard time because A) they’re too dumb to realize the days get longer in the Summer even if the clock doesn’t change leaving them plenty of time for “muh after work daylight” or B) they’re too lazy to wake up earlier during standard time to get “muh daylight”.

The state has a law to eliminate DST bullshite after the fricking feds clear the way. We should, I say we should pressure on our elected offals to get the right shite done or slide out.

I don’t consider them officials, especially Cassidy. Motherfricker is worthless.

Switch to daylight savings and leave it there.

The more daylight in the afternoon, the better. Those who want it to get dark earlier than 9:00pm are probably fat and out of shape.
Then let’s jump 4 hours forward
