People in Hawaii get used to working 8-4 instead of 9-5 and there’s never a need to screw around with the clock. Daylight Savings Time in the 21st century is one of the dumbest ideas ever. “Permanent” Daylight Savings Time is just ridiculous.Quote:

Getting rid of time zones and using UTC globally makes far more sense than changing the clocks or permanently shifting your clock so the sun is overhead at 1300 instead of 1200.
Well, princess, I would wager a great deal of the population doesn?t have that luxury. If I woke when the sun came up I?d be an hour or two late to work depending on the time of year.Quote:

I like being able to do things after work during the spring,summer, fall that require daylight. Going to year round standard time I would lose approximately 230 hours of productivity every year because I can't do those things before work. I'm good with the way it is, but daylight time is fine too. Year round standard time would really suck for me. I would have to get a half year modified work schedule to compensate for it, but I guess that's possible too if I'm faced with that. I honestly don't see what the big deal is with changing the clocks; I've never had an issue with it in my 50 years. Millions of people travel every year changing time zones, but changing the clock twice a year is some horrible event. The biggest issue with this is that people want different things so the current system is a compromise that people bitch about too.
Tuesday I took advantage of the time change and did a range trip to the South Park Range when I finished up work at 4:00.. I look forward to the spring forward every year. I guess it's all in how you look at it.
But if they hadn?t set the clocks back on you last fall you could have done that probably five weeks ago.Quote:
