Permanent Daylight Saving Time

[Aloha_Shooter]

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.

A great deal of the population would know how to change their work hours if we didn't have this idiotic anachronism. Want more light at the end of the work day? Start and end work earlier buttercup. Why do you think it's natural to have the sun at zenith at 1300 instead of 1200? Changing clocks in the 21st century is for sub-90 IQs. Going to permanent "daylight savings" time is for sub-80 IQs.

Just pick one, dammit. The justification for this was to save money? How many billions have all of these time changes cost the Information Technology and Financial sectors?

Got this from a co-worker via Teams on Friday morning before the time change;

In Sweden, researchers found an average 6.7 percent greater risk of heart attack in the three days after the spring change. Inspired by that finding, a group of U.S. researchers conducted their own study and determined that heart attack risk jumped 24 percent the Monday after switching over to daylight saving time. That risk then tapered off over the remainder of the week.

By contrast, risk for heart attack dropped 21 percent on the Tuesday after the fall time change.

another daylight savings time on Sunday, time to roll the dice again with a heart attack

Appeared to be healthy, nobody knew of any heart issues, and just got back a couple of weeks ago from a ski vacation in Vail. Seemed fine on Mon. He didn't check in on Tues. morning and couldn't be reached by phone. Early to mid 30s. Found dead in his apartment, apparently from a heart attack, when a supervisor went to check on him.

Damn?
I could of gotten a lot of Monday's off school or work in my life if I could have convinced whoever that waking up an hour early could kill me?
Or does changing the time on your clock kill?
Either way, if this is true no more early morning fishing trips would cause me heart issues too.

...ski vacation in Vail... Early to mid 30s... Found dead in his apartment, apparently from a heart attack..

Umm, sounds like something besides a one-hour-earlier wake-up might be worth considering. No disrespect to the deceased, but common things being common, maybe broaden the differential a bit.

Mock it if you want, but apparently it's a 'thing': https://duckduckgo.com/?q=time+chang...=v314-6&ia=web

Update-

Colorado passed a bill to make DST permanent. Polis needs to sign it.

However, Congress must pass a law allowing it and at least 4 other states in the Mountain time zone must do the same.

"Denver, for instance, would see about two months of the year where the sun would not rise before 8 a.m. and for nearly half of the year wouldn’t see a sunrise before 7 a.m. The number of days with sunsets after 7 p.m. would be virtually unchanged, though there would be more than 50 additional days with a sunset after 6 p.m."

So AZ would have to change to DST? Pretty sure they're not going to do that.

Colorado should just change to permanent standard time. Or how I like to call it, real time.

We live in an age of idiocracy. Don't put it past the new generation of Arizonans to buy the agenda of Green.
