I've said this for years. Cut it 30 minuets and leave it alone.
Guess I need to run for congress to get it done.

I'm retired. Don't have to worry about being "late to my own funeral" as my ex-wife used to say. I'll be the first one there. Day light savings time or not.

Where is the option for "I love Daylight Saving Time"?
It's this "dark by 5PM" game I don't like.

Those who mentioned coming home at 5 PM in the dark rattled my brain cell, I did sports, had to walk or bum rides home in High School. Get home about 0 dark 30 and have to do the farm chores, in the dark. Guess I got to practice braille farming.
I would prefer to be on daylight savings all year long

You should live in Anchorage. Here we have put up with double daylight savings time, when Alaska agreed to go on Juneau time. In Nome its triple daylight savings time. Makes for dark start in the mornings.

I didn't vote, because there wasn't really an answer that represented me. It doesn't effect me, but only because we don't play that game in AZ. So, I could have answered that it doesn't bother me, but that would suggest that I'm living with it, while I'm not.
Just another thing to love about AZ. Never fiddling with the clocks. Although, because of the rest of the U.S., I always have to think for a moment before calling other parts of the country, because the time difference obviously changes.

I still like my argument about DST being a significant contributor to global warming, by taking an hour of sunlight from the morning, when the earth is still cool from the night, and adding it in the evening, when the earth is already heated up from the day, and the extra sunlight has a much more severe effect.
The number of people who don't call BS on this right away, or even just say things like "Hm, never looked at it that way" is depressingly high.

And there are those who say that DST will save the world from global warming. Thus believing in not one, but two cons.
Just for fun, ask a college kid (or someone who still thinks like one) how DST got started. You will hear some great stuff.

I have a feeling this thread will go on until the next time change.

Much rather have it year round, especially during December eer season here. Hate gettingup at 4:30 a.m.
Here's one man's perspective:
"I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind. I even object to the implication that I am wasting something valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the daylight saving scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves." --

As in posts 23 & 36,I like it !!!
Evening automotive cruise-ins stay 'lighter' longer. Riding rollercoasters at Cedar Point in the evening is better in the 'light'. Working in the yard in the evening goes longer because of it.
