Permanent Daylight Saving Time

Marco Rubio introduced a bill to eliminate the bi-annual time change.

"Studies have shown many benefits of a year-round Daylight Saving Time, which is why the Florida legislature voted to make it permanent in 2018. I'm proud to reintroduce this bipartisan bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, and give our nation's families more stability throughout the year."

Family stability, huh?

I guess his "studies" didn't ask anyone in the northern states about having an issue with it not getting light until 9am.

I think he should consult a "study" about the governmental debt spending and its effect on long term fiscal stability of a nation.

But why bother with that triviality when there are more important issues to deal with?

If I understand you correctly you are against this?

Personally, I want all of the daylight I can get after work year round. In the winter months it is dark when I leave for work and dark when I come home from work. If they wouldn?t jack with the clocks at least there might be a little daylight left after work in the winter. Also, the hour of sleep they just took from me has my biological clock all out of whack. Switching the clocks twice a year over my lifetime is probably going to take years off my life.

I think he is against everything. Debbie-Downer comes to mind...

I survived no DST for a few years, even liked it. But you guys/gals know I'm a little touched.

Nah, only cops I talk to are drinking buddies and they don't wanna talk about work.

I am convinced AZ timezone is less about time, more about not bursting into flames. Who wants the sun to stay up till 9pm in the summer in the valley?

I liked the weather chick saying.. We're in for a cool down this week. The temps will drop from 113 down to 110. Only in the valley.

Agree 100%
I always enjoy the additional light after I get off of work. I would much rather see the swing this way instead of the other way i.e Standard time that to my understanding the Colorado Legislature is trying to make a ballot initiative. Stupid Dems.
I would not care for sunrise at 0430 and sundown at 1930 on June 21.

As far as the annual time changes, never really bugged me much. Yeah a couple days afterward were an adjustment but I also looked at it as a rite of passage of the changing seasons.

I'm with you here. Probably the thing I hate most about Winter is when it gets dark at 4:45 PM. Just makes me want to go to bed at 6:00.

By contrast, daylight between 4 am and 5 am does me no good. So I'm all in favor of year round DST.

I don't care either way.

I think there are a lot more important issues Congress should deal with before wasting time on this nonsense.

I agree about there being more benefit to it staying lighter in the evening than lighter in the morning.
