I just hope we permanently end Daylight Savings Time and stick with Standard Time. It’s detrimental to everyone’s health
Come to New England and see if you still have the same opinion. The sun sets before 4 pm some days of the year. Standard time can go fuck itself.
Yep. We should stay on “spring forward” time, which I believe is DST, year-round. No more stupid changing the clocks, and it may not be dark when you go to AND get off work if you do a regular schedule during the winter. The extra hour of sunlight is just a great summer bonus.
If they end time changing but keep us on the current time, I’m going to be fucking pissed.
The current argument against constant Daylight Time is that kids would have to go to school in the dark.
My dude, I live in the North as well, but noon is when the sun is at its peak, time is time.
I live in CT. Usually when we do a study on getting rid of DST (studies which never go anywhere) it’s about moving to Atlantic standard time, which would be essentially DST year round, rather than EST
I would like to stop changing the clocks. I read a while back that in the 1970s they did it and reverted back because so many people complain about getting up in the dark. Seems like it would be best to keep the winter hours honestly. All the proposal I’ve seen want summer time.
Who wants a 4am sunrise in the summer though? I think more people prefer extra light in the evening since you’re out and about already. It doesn’t make much different in the winter whether sunrise is at 8am or 9am since everyone is getting up and going to work/school in the dark either way.
I’ve traveled to places near the equator where the sun rises at 4am and once I adapted, I loved it. That being said, and this is key, I wasn’t working when I was in those places.
End time changing. Keep summer time year round. I think we need to stop saying “end daylight saving time” because what we actually want is to keep daylight saving time and stop changing the clocks. It can be confusing. Hopefully somehow this is a nonpartisan issue because the disinformation will be nuts if it gets politicized.
While I hate changing clocks like most people… I don’t see how this is efficient. Think about how many devices already assume the clocks will change. It will cost billions to make the switch.

DOGE won’t be able to do anything because it’s a fake office made to keep Elon happy enough to fund Trump. It won’t last a year before Musk and Trump hate each other because two narcissists like that can’t share a space.
He can recommend ending DST all he wants, but nobody will have to listen to him.
There is already a push for this though. Not eliminating DST, but making it permanent. This is just DOGE trying to take credit for something that could potentially already happen. Like how the GAO already exists and DOGE is just citing reports the GAO already has done. Nothing says efficiency like putting two people in charge of a program that is duplicating what another agency already does.
Yes please let’s end the madness and stay on summer hours year round.
What is GAO?
Not eliminating DST, but making it permanent.
Typical that Musk would choose the more costly and environmentally damaging option.
Something something broken clock is right twice a day…
in this case, the broken clock is spinning erratically, and is never correct.
But a lot of them are misinformed. The current time is regular time. The time I assume sane people want to keep is “daylight saving time”.
This could go quite badly if it’s misinterpreted as staying on regular time year round, which is the opposite of what most people who say they want to get rid of DST want.
