re: House passes legislation 308 - 117 to make Daylight Saving Time permanent

That changes rapidly when every state takes their own stance

States have their own stance now.
Tennessee has 2 time zones.
Alaska has 3.

Phones literally do the work for you.
Or you can be retarded and never look at your phone and complain that it is too complicated.

You're relying on your phone a lot brother.

It's a lot easier to keep track of 3-4 things vs. 50. And it's a lot easier to program a system (your phone) for 4 things vs. 50 as well

Now once that extra hour of sunlight that hits them in the face when they drive off to go home, they will stop bitching.

No, they’ll just bitch that it’s dark by 6:15 because they’re too stupid to realize that changing the oven clock isn’t why it gets dark earlier in December.

That’s when they pretend that they have all this work that needs doing between 5:00-7:00 pm in the winter. Everyone here has a homestead and a herd of cattle.

A lot of construction workers that I've known through the years like the early start and early off. Pretty common for construction workers to begin work at 7AM and they're off by 3:30-4PM.

Then they can just work 8AM - 4:30/5PM and it is the exact same thing. If your job is dependent on the sun, then those jobs should just shift hours in the winter to be aligned with the sun. Sounds like an easy solution to me.

Or, we could just move the clocks twice a year.

My vote would be for standard time year round.

It is funny to see the people prefer standard time when they only get 15 weeks a year, currently.

Standard has gone from 12 months to 6 months to 16 weeks to 15 weeks. And congress is getting close to allowing states to eliminate it altogether.
Georgia already passed the law for full time daylight savings. We and 18 other states) are just waiting on congress.

I prefer how we do it. I choose CST over CDT if I have to pick though, mostly because we went to permanent DST once before and EVERYONE hated it the first winter.

---

If the law passes, every state can do what they want. Follow the national time change. Opt out completely like a few states do. Or opt in to daylight savings completely like 19 states are prepared to do.

Federalism.
It is the American way when 380M people can't agree.

You have states opting out right now from the federal system.

I havent seen you bitching...

I dont know.

But the exact point is that I dont sweat them and neither should you.

Some states have 2 and 3 timezones.
Some cities have 2.

They all seem to get by even though your mind is exploding by the concepts.
