We tried permanent DST. People hated it.Morons will never learn from other people's mistakes, they have to burn their hand on the stove to learn it's hot.

Snow and ice would have more light to help melt faster.Dude, it don't matter if the light is from 7am-6pm or 8am-7pm, the snow ain't gonna care what time it is.
Dude, it don't matter if the light is from 7am-6pm or 8am-7pm, the snow ain't gonna care what time it is.This happens literally every single time I see this topic discussed on the internet. Some people chime in somehow thinking that congress has the ability to add and delete sunlight with legislation.

love going outside at 9 pm and the sun is still out. Just love it.Where the fuck do you live that ever happens, even in June the Sun's finally down by 9 pm.
if republicans are actually agreeing with democrats on a bill, they must have underlying motive to choosing permanent DST instead of standard timeI didn't watch the recent one but I watched the congressional hearings on this when it was almost passed a couple years ago. They had a few scientists trying to go standard time but if not, at the very least pick one between standard and DST because the switching back and forth is objectively the worst possible option. And then one non-scientist dude representing business interests who said his number one concern is that more people buy things after work when it's light outside, so we should try to keep that. So I think that probably speaks to your question.

If it becomes permanent anybody with the power to choose their own working hours will just shift to an hour earlier.
The last time they did this a bunch of kids died after being hit by cars walking to school in the darkI think we are past the point of politicians pretending to care about dead kids.

If school administrators don't move the time school starts to a safe time, that's on their own dumbass heads.
Fortunately, this has not a single damn thing on this polluted blue dot to do with what time the clock says.Today I learned it doesn't matter if the clock says 8 am if it's dark at 8 am!
If school administrators don't move the time school starts to a safe time, that's on their own dumbass heads.Ah, brilliant, we'll do DST for school start times instead.
Where the fuck do you live that ever happens, even in June the Sun's finally down by 9 pm.
Now I'm wondering if the US will ever switch to the metric system and how that would go.
Just shift school/business starting time to compensate if necessary."We should keep DST. We'll just shift the start time of everything in the winter an hour later so people don't die in the mornings when it's dark until 8 am"
Where the fuck do you live that ever happens, even in June the Sun's finally down by 9 pm.Places like parts of ND are like 9:45 PM sunset in the summers. 8:30 AM sunrise in the winters.
"We should keep DST. We'll just shift the start time of everything in the winter an hour later so people don't die in the mornings when it's dark until 8 am"
What's the point, then?
Places like parts of ND are like 9:45 PM sunset in the summers. 8:30 AM sunrise in the winters.Christ I'd hate it there.
There's a lot of ways I could answer this question but ultimately decided on if there's no difference to how you manage your time then you should do the one that at least promotes healthy sleep schedules.So. Standard time. Scientifically proven.
So. Standard time. Scientifically proven.
Do you think all those school admins were just too f***ing stupid to change school start times when we tried this permanent DST nonsense 50 years ago and people found out they hated it once Winter rolled around?Yes
As a former kid, I can assure you that we did not care if it was dark in the morning as those were hours that were meaningless to us anyways. We always preferred the daylight in the evening, though, as once it went dark, that was it for our days.
Also school start times in America are determined predominantly by what's convenient for the parents, not for what's in the best interest of the kids. School started at 8:30 because your parents had to be at work by 9. There is no other reason. We can do better.They're doing a freaking awful job of it then. School starts an hour after I get to work, and exactly when Mrs. Devsman does.
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.
830 am dawn just means I sleep more.That's not how circadian rhythm works.
We are currently in regular time as we know it. No need for permanent DST. Kids in te morning just need to wear or have some kind of reflector.There's no regular, only typical.
This seems like a colossal waste of time and just a boomer concern tbh. Probably because their sick of setting their mechanical watchs twice a year or something.
No. Wrong. Get rid of DST entirely. No permanent DST. Hate DST. Kill DST.
I think being upset about the time is a memeI lost a job over DST, is the reason I'm bitter. Now, it wasn't JUST that. But that was one of the big things.
I spent the first 30 years of my life with people either not complaining or just doing like "banter" complaints about it. The past 10 years though, it seems like some folks made complaining about it a central element of their personalities.
