The problem I think this is running into in the senate is that every region wants a no DST setup that is most favorable to their area.


Make it a state option.

If a state wants year round DST they can elect to do it.


If a state wants to keep regular DST let them keep that option.


If a state wants to observe a 30 minute shift let them choose that.


It is no different in other places in the world that have strange time zones.


In this day and age of GPS synchronization, your phone and GPS will change with the new abnormalities in time if one state chooses to do something crazy.

No matter what happens, half the country will complain. So flip a coin, draw out of a hat, it doesn't matter. Pick one and make the entire country follow it. It is dumb that you can drive and change your clock 4 times within the state of Arizona.

Pick daylight or standard and tell the complainers to get over it. Changing times twice a year is not worth the effort.

So will I have to get up earlier for turkey hunting or later? Will it get dark earlier for deer hunting or later? I don't think I can do both. I'll have to think this one through.

It’s a non issue for me. I can adapt.

Hey Congress, do something real.

If people desperately want more daylight for Halloween, they can keep November if we go back to the last week of April.


Also, make the last Monday of April a federal holiday of some kind. That gives us 2 days instead of 1 to adjust to the later sunrise.

Trump owns golf courses. The golf industry has been lobbying for decades to have year-round DST. The problem is there are lobbyists on the other side.
