Setting clocks back during the colder months creates a depressing situation where there is work and then Darkness as soon as the work day is done. This also slows the economic engine because without the extended daylight during the colder months, a large majority of people go home and are not out doing social activities or contributing to America’s economic engine. Both of these contribute to weight gain and a more depressing environment.
Completely agree, turning back the clocks gives no positive advantages to the American people. Thinking they’re extending their days by removing time from the evening and giving it to the morning is as ignorant as cutting the bottom off a blanket, sewing it to the top then thinking you have a longer blanket. It’s a literal waste of “time.” There are no energy saving costs, 6am - 7pm, 7am - 8pm, 8am - 9pm…it doesn’t matter what time we say the sun rises or sets it will always be the same amount of hours in between X & Y therefore the same amount of energy used. Makes no sense.

I agree, what was the purpose of us voting on the Measure to remove daylight savings time. It’s sad that nothing has been done since the measure passed.

I’m sorry, but I disagree. Many Americans (including myself)still depend on daylight to do our jobs. Daylight savings allows us to follow somewhat normal hours throughout the year.

Please stop with this time change it screws up so many things,plus you can’t explain to animals why their feeding times change. How many of us have animals following and staring at you because they are hungry and it takes time for them to readjust feeding schedules !!

Small correction here: we want to make daylight savings permanent. I 100% agree with your sentiment and all your reasons behind it. But we are on daylight savings March - November and on standard time otherwise.
Now, BAN STANDARD TIME

By your explanation wouldnt you want to abolish standard time? Which i would fully support. I like more daylight at the end of the day to do chores after work. It is super depressing when its dark at 5pm.
You are correct I reworded it to express the accurate meaning of what I’m trying to say.

Yes you are correct. I reworded it so that it makes more sense.
Totally agree! DST isn’t good for our farming industries or their families! The sun still rises and sets at the same time! There are many other ways to avoid depression. Personally I love the peace of the evening and the nighttime.
Plus the cows who get milked. Babies as well!
Completely disagree! Plus I think it was a small way to begin controlling the American population! Way better for the farmers, their families, their animals and their crops to ELIMINATE daylight savings time!
I am for keeping the Daylight saving permanently.
