Fuck daylight savings time

An astronomy teacher once explained to me that Michigan is actually in the incorrect timezone for some bizarre reason. I forgot why

Daylight Savings Time should just become Standard Time. It wouldn't solve the issue of it being pitch black at 5PM in the Winter, but it would at least help.

Next time we move the clocks forward, just keep it that way!

When it started this year there was a tiny push for this. That might be every year though. Too many other things take priority but I think an earlier sunset can have a decent effect on how people feel and it lasts a long ass time. DST forever!

Getting out of work to complete darkness is just sad.

What time is it?
Lousy Farmers! I think attempts to abolish it have been quashed in the past because they don't want kids returning from school when it's dark or near dark outside.

Don’t care about the time change but hate the fact it starts getting dark so early.

Get rid of it. I prefer simplicity and remembering one less thing. Also it's dark at 5 now which seems sudden and harsh.

I love waking up at 6:30am to the sun, and putting the kids to bed at 7pm and it actually dark outside.

I despise it. I’m not a morning person and am never up before 8-9am at the earliest so I couldn’t care less about earlier sunrises. Getting dark an hour earlier in the evening blows.

It's pretty useless given how much of our economy is more relevantly determined by actual, numerical time rather than when the sun is shining. Especially in a 24-hour globally active world.

Let make a randomly picked hour out of a five hour period every day from 3 am to 8!

It was originally done for the famers but jesus christ, electricity and lights on commercial farm equipment has been a thing for a while now. It is completely redundant now and just a pain in the ass for everyone.

Yes! Lets abolish this stupid system! Leave "time' alone. If Governments and business want to shift their schedules twice a year, that is their prerogative. Easier to change my alarm than all the clocks in my house.

Winter time is the real time, daylight saving is wrong and should be removed for simplicity.
It gets bright earlier now, which is good. How late do you fellas sleep anyway?

This is the normal time tho. If people are lazy and wake up later, that's kinda their fault?
As a kid I loathed waking up and going to school almost pitch dark, so I don't mind the sacrifice even if I preferred a "longer" day.

Leave Daylight Savings Time (Spring / Summer) time in-tact and just make that default from here on out. No need to bring back the old ways (Fall / Winter).

I think we should probably just do away with it since it really doesn't serve a purpose anymore. But I do enjoy gaining an hour in the fall. When it's cold as fuck out anyway, I don't really care if it gets dark early.

I was against it, but working from home started to appreciate sunrise coming "earlier".
Before I used to be annoyed that it get's dark earlier in the evening.

as bad as Danny Zuko in gym knickers
At 12:00 daytime I want the sun to be at its peak.

If we want more daylight when we leave work then change the work hours.
