That would be terrific. We're the only ones that do that right? And it was introduced at a time when farming was a staple in our economy.
Times have changed and here's to hoping we don't have to change it anymore.
To be clear, this would mean the day ends LATER in winter, right?
To be clear, this would mean the day ends LATER in winter, right?Yeah, and the sun stays down until nearly 8 AM, joy :)
No. Wrong. Get rid of DST entirely. No permanent DST. Hate DST. Kill DST.

The sun rose at 8:27 AM on January 7, 1974. Children in the Washington area had left for school in the dark that morning, thanks to a new national experiment during a wrenching energy crisis: most of the US went to year-round daylight saving time beginning on January 6. It was jet black outside when her daughter was supposed to leave for school, Florence Bauer of Springfield told the Washington Post . Some of the children took flashlights with them.
Then again, the forward has always been the crappy change.It's been scientifically examined and the forward change does fuck with the body significantly more than the back.
This.
Don't make some fake different time. You're not making the day longer, you're just making dawn an hour later. Which would be LATE in the winter.

We still do it in Australia. But to confuse matters, we have 2 states and 1 territory that don't do it.
You'd think when things get to that point, they'd just do away with it. Yet here we are.

Someone explain how switching between the two actually effects anything but your sleep schedule/pattern.
About time. I would love to have permanent DST.
Just look it up, surrounding the time change there's an increase in all sorts of things from car accidents to heart attacks and these increases happen during both time changes.I wasn't aware of any of that
Here's info on heart attacks specifically.

The shift to daylight time has higher incidents than the shift to standard but both have a clear impact during people's adjustment period. Things normalize of course after a few days but there's no reason we should be doing the time changes anyways so these sorts of problems shouldn't be a thing anyways.

Don't they try to do something about the time changes every year and nothing ever happens?
I thought something passed like 2 years ago to end it and nothing changed.
It passed the Senate, I believe, and never got taken up for a vote in the House. Or the other way around. Either way, it passed one and never got voted on after.Yeah I think it came out that it was unanimously approved and then it came out they actually didn't know what they were voting for. It's reassuring that lawmakers are just winging it.
This would mean the sun stays up to like 9 pm in the summer right and doesn't set at fucking 4 pm in the winter? If so, I'm for this.Yes, but it would also mean sunrise wouldn't be until like after 8 am in the winter.
