Permanent Daylight Saving Time

[Martinjmpr]

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.

Oh, HELL no. I don't need it to see sunrise at 4:30 AM. I'm retired from the Army and I'm not a farmer.

Give me that daylight from 7:30 to 8:30 every night. Much more useful.

Does this mean we can go on "Summer Hours" all year?

Man I hope not. Summer is freaking busy.

Give me the daylight centered around noon as nature and the clock intended. If you're retired, you shouldn't care what the clock says anyway, you should be going by the sun's position but daylight at 2030 and having to turn the lights on at 0730 are just stupid late.

The sun should be as nearly directly overhead at noon on the equinoxes as possible.

Been there, done that

Before clocks were invented, people kept time using different instruments to observe the Sun?s meridian passing at noon.
The earliest time measuring devices we know of are sundials and water clocks.

The use of local solar time became increasingly awkward as railways and telecommunications improved.
Time zones were, therefore, a compromise, relaxing the complex geographic dependence while still allowing local time to be approximate with mean solar time.

And then, we can join the Communist Chinese

Some countries such as China use a single time zone even though their territory extends beyond the 15 degrees of longitude allocated to each time zone.

If DST is a real thing and it's official....AZ would not be MST, rather PST to the USA all the time, as I understand it.

Arizona doesn't observe DST so when we are on DST they are in the Pacific time zone but when we are not on DST they are in the MST time zone.

....except for the Navajo reservation, which is basically the northeastern quarter of AZ, which DOES observe DST.
