I want it to stay like it is now. I'll settle for we put it one way or the other and leave it the f alone. Twice a year changing the clocks is hard on folks.

In both cases, that's what Trump is doing. Temporarily suspending the switch, then pushing Congres to make it permanent. As long as they do it while the Rs have both houses, it'll be permanent DST.

Unless they need 60 in the Senate, and the Ds want to be obstructionists, as usual.

I want my extra hour next month. I earned it.

Then make it permanent.

I see what you did there ...

aside: good luck this weekend ... fk the Dukes!!! (sorry JMUdunk) ...

yea permanent DST is the only way to get any work done outside after 5pm in the winter.

Even now, I'm losing something like 20 minutes of after work daylight every week.

I think we should just split the difference, change it back 30 minutes, then never touch it again.

Seems reasonable. And stink said it earlier.

If I'm correct, Arizona doesn't ever change it and I haven't heard any Arizonan complain about it. I'm retired, it doesn't make any difference to me, no how.

He wants year round standard time.

I would be OK with year-round DST now, but only because I moved to the eastern edge of the Central Time Zone. It would genuinely suck to live through year-round DST during the winter in Louisville. Louisville would effectively be on "double daylight savings" as it moved from the Central to the Eastern Time Zone in 1961.

Trump wants year round standard time? Nope. He wants year round daylight time.

He is SUSPENDING the switch back to Standard on Nov. 2, and will issue an EO to cover it until Congress makes the formal change.

correct ... "light later" ... it's pretty dayum simple...

Daylight Savings Time STARTS in the spring ... therefore, DST becomes the standard...

now, with all this confusion amongst the ranks, do you fully understand why I chose the middle ...
