Yeah, I bet we'll miss aspects of it if we get rid of it. But overall, I'd rather not deal with shifting time. It wipes me out for a few days twice a year.

hell yeah

Why is this something we are worrying about right now though? Quite trivial.

Like zero

Really? Jet lag must kick you right in the nuts.

Granted, no plan is perfect. Somewhere there is a bad time. But do you want kids going to school when it is dark?

Now we shift 2x a year, but many do that anyway when they vacation.
If states are allowed to make their own rules, then someone could have 5 time changes by driving from Minn to texas. Talk about stupid.

Russia wants to change from 12 time zones to 5. There is a reason there is 24 zones.

I know someone on another forum that tried to NOT observe DST. It lasted about a week. It was too hard adjusting to everyone else that changed.


If you are smart, it takes about 3 days to adjust. Drink water. Take a nap or 3. Get over it pussies.

Next people will only allow vasectomies during NCAA weekend so they can "rest"

"Wipes me out" may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I definitely feel a little off for a few days. And there's plenty of evidence that people don't function as well right after the time changes.

It definitely makes me more tired, I also have a pretty damn good internal clock. Wake up right before my alarm goes off every day.

Okay. And yes, I've read that before. It would be interesting to see how many of those people rarely travel to other time zones, even within our own country.

I double screwed myself.

I started a job Monday that sits in mountain time. I'm central.

Ugh.

I'd rather always be on Standard time.

**** them kids

The government is so desperate, they are even taking time away from its citizens.
