I hope everyone who wants to be on permanent DST experiences an eternity of the first day of spring forward, never rested again

    I honestly don’t care if we choose permanent standard time or DST. Either one would be better than having to switch twice a year. I’ll even propose a compromise: we can try one for a year, try the other for the next year, and see which one works better.

    Not doing either because we can’t agree on which one should be permanent seems like the worst option.

      In the us your state can choose to do standard time anytimeiit wants. Daylight savings time is allowed in summer only so it is a federal issues and thus much harder to get passed.

      I live so far up north that in the winter the sun rises around noon and sets two hours later.

      I literally could not care less which time zone I’m in, the position of the sun has zero effect on my life.

      We really should just move to permanent standard time, and judging by some of the opinions to the contrary that I’m seeing in this thread, everyone who hates that should either be given a dispensation to move their work shift and bed time back an hour or be placed on a psychiatric hold.

        Isn’t the reverse just as true for people who hate being on DST permanently?
