I agree with him. As a parent of 2 kids currently in school, I don't want them waiting for the bus in the dark.

We need to eliminate DST and just have standard time.

Just change the school start time.
It is no more practical to make multiple annual changes in the school start time than it would be to make multiple annual changes in work hours.

That was fine when 95% of humanity worked the land and lived by the rising and setting of the sun.

Less so, when 95% of humanity punches a time clock.

NGL, as a father of 2 kids under 5, it getting dark earlier makes bedtime far easier in my household.

We should compromise and get rid of the one in the spring and keep the one in the fall that gives us the extra hour.

Personally, I am more concerned about the safety of the kiddos than about some adult's recreational pursuits.

Ok. Let's move it back this fall and then not move it forward in the spring. Problem solved.

Good. I like the clock changes.

There’s a statistically significant increase in mortality when time changes occur.

So, you are saying that your recreational pursuits are more important than the safety of American children.

That is fine. Each of us has his own priorities. Just be honest about yours.

Well then turn on the goddamn lights.

Same can be said to the people whining about it being dark at 4pm.

The last time change adjustment screwed it up for all, cause it really caused more of a divide over this. It woke up people to the actual difference. Should have been left alone.

I want the sun up earlier to get the day started. It still being dark right now this late into the fall is annoying to me. So even though I don't normally care for Cotton, I'm on board with him here.

And apparently the healthiest permanent change is whichever has the sun up the earliest.

Its not that fricking hard. Keep the entire country on DST and states can opt out like AZ and HI.

There’s always a guy like Tom Cotton to screw things up for everyone else. He’s the kind of guy who complains about a take home exam.

Let's fall back 30 minutes and call it a day. Everybody get what the want.
