Wish they'd leave the darned clocks alone.  :cursing: :cursing:

Every year...twice a year I have to try to remember how to offset the forum time.

Haha!! my dad is 100% native american and will get a kick out of that one, thanks! I was just pondering the thought today of how the natives didnt care to keep track of actual birthdays, just the season in which you were birthed or maybe an occurance that happen during or around your birth. daylight savings time?? saying it dosent even make sense, it is impossible to save daylight or time.  just an excuse to be late for work or stay up late...

That is fine if you work in an office.

When they had daylight savings time all winter when we had a gas crunch or some thing years ago. I was working doing dry wall at that time. It was a pain moving lights all over so we could see to work. Sure we could have started work later but that would have made me miss my kids after school activities.

I think we should leave at it standard time all year!!!

I forgot to set my clock to Daylight Savings time in the shop. I thought I had plenty of time to hit the road for an appointment. I went up stairs and realized the problem when I saw the microwave clock! Oh crap!

Then today I'm going by the clock on my old shop computer that does't change and can't believe where all the time went! Then I realize the old computer doesn't change times!

Hate the time change, wish we would just stay on day light savings time and leave it alone, like that time better, would love to have daylight at the end of the day after work to get things done and not be driving to work in the dark and home in the dark here in a little while.  They keep shortening the time we are on standard time anyways.  Just leave it alone and we would not have as many accidents and all because of it.

I was doing drywall at the time. It was a pain dragging lights around so you could see what you were doing to start the day. Someone said just start later. I asked them if they wanted to miss their kids after school activities. I told them I was not going to.

The original Sunshine protection Act has been stalled in congress. And no it hasn't been sitting on Joe Biden's desk or over a year. It hasn't even gotten through congress --  yet. I think you got some bad information.

Senator Rubio has reintroduced the bill for 2023.

What I find ludicrous is it passed in the senate unanimously, but the our congress critters can't seem to get it through congress.

I grew up with constantly changing time twice a year and it didn't bother me. (I lived in a lot of different states as my dad was in the military.) But when it came back to Indiana when I was in my 50's I hated it!  :rotflol:
Title: Re: Stupid Daylight Savings Time
Post by: taxid on Mar 15, 2023, 10:15 PM
More on the subject from the WP. Sadly doesn't look good.



But the prospects for the Sunshine Protection Act remain dim: Neither chamber of Congress has a majority supporting the bill, and there is no clear consensus among voters. Key congressional leaders whose committees would need to review the bill remain publicly undecided. Opponents and sleep medicine experts, meanwhile, warn that when Congress actually succeeded in making daylight saving time permanent in the 1970s, it quickly and ignominiously blew up in their faces, forcing them to end the experiment 10 months later.

And after senators used a legislative maneuver last year to pass their bill with no debate or committee review — shocking many of their colleagues and the White House — wary congressional staff say they’re on alert to block such an effort this year.

Meanwhile, a review of daylight saving time policies by the Department of Transportation, which implements federal time zone rules, is not expected to be completed until year’s end; some undecided lawmakers said they planned to wait for that before making a decision on the Sunshine Protection Act.

The political logjam might be best encapsulated by Washington state, whose representatives control the two committees that oversee daylight saving time policy: Sen. Maria Cantwell (D), who leads the Senate Commerce Committee, and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R), who leads the House Energy and Commerce Committee. While the Washington state legislature and governor have pushed for permanent daylight saving time, both Cantwell and McMorris Rodgers have declined to take a position, and their staffs were similarly noncommittal about whether the committees would bring the bill up for review.
