Daylight savings time was a solution created by politicians to solve a non existent problem. And now we're stuck with it, like many of their other "solutions". I spent the last 25 years in EH&S, mostly for manufacturing plants. There is a higher risk of injury in the workplace the week after time change. Our bodies get used to a certain rhythm and resist change.

I thought I saw a headline saying it was 4 in the last few days, I'll edit the above post since I'm not correct.This is absolutely not true. There are only two states that do not observe DST, Arizona and Hawaii. And in Arizona it isn't the entire entire state since the Navajo Nation observes DST. Their reservation covers a bit over 4% of the state.
What other two states do you believe do not observe DST? Territories and possessions don't count.
Daylight saving time has been the law in the US for over 100 years! The Calder Act in 1918! No one on this forum has even been alive that long, don't any of you think it is time to grow up, stop whining, and get over it?
I do agree with Super Trucker about the ridiculous whining twice a year! It is really tiresome.
The time change thing is way more bad than good for most humans. PERIOD.
The “costs” of Daylight Savings ranges from $430M to $1.7B. The negative impact on productivity and human health is probably incalculable.
Arizona doesn’t change time because we have the most sunshine of any State.
The “whining”…. I’ve been active on internet forums since 1999. The whining is what makes any forum interesting and fun. Gun owners whine as much as any group, and most of the whining has nothing to do with guns.

Chicago!! I saw them live in Las Vegas years ago. Classic music.
"25 6 to 4"...
"It is literally about the time in the morning, where the writer (Robert Lamm) has been up all night trying to write a song. 25 or 26 minutes to 4 a.m. 3:35 or 3:34 a.m. That is IT."

Shame on me for not recognizing that!
Thanks WardenRoss, great trip back in the Time Machine.
Let’s get rid of “daylight wasting time” and do DST year round.
"Does anybody really care" ?
Ask any dairy farmer how their cows feel about DST...

Does anybody really care? .................. Oops, seems like a lot of people get bent over time changes though LOL
Right there with "stupid games, stupid prizes" for tired tropes.

But if we spring forward every year and never fall back won't that move your sunsets all the way back to dawn????
I was going to say, "Does anyone really care?" but this thread suggests otherwise
Currently in MT school kids enter school in the dark for 2 1/2 months a year. Under DST, they would hit first recess about sunrise.
I like our current system and feel it works very nicely for those of us in the North.
Lot of Truth in this statement
I prefer to sleep in a little more when going fishing, early in the morning,
or get up to hook up the boat, when the sun is up, or at least, just coming up.
A extra late hour on the trout stream with a dry fly is also nice, even though,
my meal will be in the dark.
Joyce does not mind eating at 6pm , in day light.

Not necessarily about DLST, but what about Nebraska, Kansas, Texas, North and South Dakota, they are divided between Central and Mountain time zones or Florida, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee?
Aren't they are split between Eastern and Central time zones?
Must be a fun time trying to coordinate time sensitive activities there.
But if we fall back every year and never spring forward wont we live forever?
