The Senate passed the Sunshine Protection Act two years ago basically ending DST. It had unanimous bi-partisan votes. It went to the House and never got anywhere.

I like the way it is now. After one or two days I am adjusted to it. If it where to change I would want DST, it does me no good for the sun to come up at 4:15 in the morning in June or July. In December and January here the kids are going to school in the dark anyway.

Keep this time now all year. With all the LED lighting now, I don't think it really matters anymore anyways.

I don't care what timeline it gets locked into, just settle on one & keep it there. As I stated before, mother nature dictates the length of sunshine, not the clock. FWIW, the kids got to experience sun to get to the bus stop for the last 3 weeks, now they're back out in the dark again, makes no sense to me.

It makes me laugh that we force millions of people to change their clocks twice a year for no clear reason. Perhaps there is some value in demonstrating that Americans can follow simple directions? I would be happy if this was the last time we had to change our clocks due to DST.

We will find out in about the next 5-10 years that this fancy LED lighting is doing things to us that's not good for us. I worked at a deans plant a while back and I noticed they didn't have any LED lighting so I asked the maintenance guy that was showing us where all the electrical panels were,why haven't you upgraded your lighting yet. He told me they did in a spot in the cooler and all the milk that was stored under those lights came back because they tasted sour. Turns out something in the LED lights were breaking down the sugars in the milk. Makes you wonder 🤔

Yes very true Abe. I guess it makes sense what they are saying since they are now using LED light for therapy and stuff.
