Bubbler86 Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Another thing staying in DST will do is increase the frequency of school 2 hour delays and/or cancels (or remote days). Cannot have busses going around when its dark and icy at 8:30AM. Or make school 9-5 and change everyone's work schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and @anothermanhave echoed my sentiments exactly. As soon as the sun sets before 5:00 (which occurs a few days after returning to standard time) there is that mental connection that Thanksgiving and the Holiday season are just around the corner. And it kind of marks the beginning of snow opportunities as well. And with each passing day those chances increase. I could go on and on. I'm sure it's connected to my age (now) in some way. For most of us we've never not had the return to standard time. And now we must face the fact that there will only be one more chance to "fall back" later this year.

If this passes the house, we'll never go back to standard time (DST forever - well after 2023 it appears since people need to time for contract times like airlines and all). @SenateCloakroom Passed by Unanimous Consent, S.623: Sunshine Protection Act, as amended (to make Daylight Saving Time permanent)@SenRubioPress/@SenWhitehouse/ others Thank god. It sucks losing an hour of daytime in the evening.

It literally is a situation where children seem to have been forgotten. The school conundrum is in addition to the fact that it appears people are split on which time is better. I read an article yesterday that said it was a fairly even split between the people who wanted to abolish time change: half wanted it to be standard and half savings as the permanent time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top of the morning to you! Unfortunately, no I have not reached out to CTP about that issue. I don't have any contacts there and honestly just haven't had the wherewithal to do it this time. I've got a boy about to turn two and a nine month pregnant wife about to burst at home, so I've been worn the F out ha. Maybe next time. Hey @canderson what did I tell ya about that Senate bill!? I see no reason why it won't pass the House. Although I must admit, hearing the other folks talk does have me feeling a bit nostalgic about the early darkness around the holidays. But bottom line is, more times than not, I'd rather have that extra hour in the evening. I think the vast majority of people agree on not changing the clocks anymore, just a matter of whether you prefer Daylight or Standard. I'm certainly sympathetic to the arguments on both sides and my main concern would be what this does to schooling, as I really don't want to see any changes to the school schedules. End of the day, I think it's more good than bad. People will adjust, as we always do. High of 67 here yesterday, low of 35 last night. A perfect 10 is upon us gentlemen, enjoy it. I'll be firing up the grill for some steaks, asparagus, and potatoes. Got to keep that pregnant belly full -- not mine of course, my wife's, although they tell me men can get pregnant now so who knows. Chow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I leave for work my I always notice multiple people in my neighborhood in the process of leaving as well. By the time the elementary bus comes at 8:15, the neighborhood is a ghost town.
