Make This Happen

quote:

President Trump apparently is tired of switching clocks just like everyone else.

Coming off a universally sleep-deprived weekend during which America set the clocks to spring forward an hour, Trump tweeted that he's “O.K.” with making Daylight Saving Time “permanent” -- in other words, enough with the clock changing.

“Making Daylight Saving Time permanent is O.K. with me!” Trump tweeted Monday.

That's why I'm so tired

Last few years I didnt even know about DST bc of the magic of cell phones.

I'm against changing the current setup FWIW but realize I'm in the minority.

Make it Standard Time year round. Same amount of daylight each day either way.

i'd actually just like to make the world all work on GMT. if it's 1 PM here, it's 1 PM in England, China, and Australia. do away with DST entirely.

Companies in central time just say we're open from 1 PM to 10 PM (8-5 GMT) and so on. i sleep from 3 AM to 10 AM.

would fix a lot of stuff. just saying.

Apparently there are certain parts of the country that don't follow DST. I sometimes wish I lived there.

Now that Trump is okay with this, I expect a full three-year investigation from the Democrats to determine how this is part of the Russia initiative and how it will mean more money in the coffers of the Trump Empire.

I’m good with permanent daylight savings times, but for those of you who clearly don’t know, we have less daylight during the winter: we would still not have the same amount of daylight everyday.

I have a diabetic daughter on an insulin pump. Daylight savings fricks her blood glucose up for weeks.

I don't care. But the premise of DST was to save energy. Every study concluded that there is no savings in energy.
