Well, bye

School starts way too early anyway. I thought I've read studies that say 7am is too early for kids to learn.

When you actually use your body for a living, it sucked for me
Nothing worse than going to work in the dark and coming home the same.

Here, we either hit the morning rush or the early evening rush. Our district has 3 runs, Elem, HS, MS. Bus drivers get a break between HS and MS.

Damned if you do....cant make every one happy.

MINNESOTA, USA — On March 15, the Senate unanimously passed the Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight saving time permanent across the United States.

The bill still needs approval in the U.S. House of Representatives before heading to the White House for President Biden's signature, and even if it does become law, permanent daylight saving time wouldn't go into effect until November 2023.

So what would locking the clock look like in Minnesota?

The impact would come during the colder months, when Minnesota would otherwise observes Central Standard Time.

Based on 2022 data for the Twin Cities, the biggest impacts would be seen surrounding the winter solstice when days are the shortest.

The welcome change is that the latest sunset would now be at 5:31 p.m. As it currently stands, the sun sets at 4:31 p.m. from Dec. 4-15.

But on the flip side, we would lose morning sun. Instead of coming up at 7:51 a.m. in late December and early January, the sun wouldn’t rise until an hour later. This means from Dec. 30 to Jan. 5, the sun up would come at 8:51 a.m.

1973–1975: Year-round experiment
During the 1973 oil embargo by the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC), in an effort to conserve fuel, Congress enacted a trial period of year-round DST (P.L. 93-182), beginning January 6, 1974, and ending April 27, 1975.[11] The trial was hotly debated. Those in favor pointed to increased daylight hours in the summer evening: more time for recreation, reduced lighting and heating demands, reduced crime, and reduced automobile accidents. The opposition was concerned about children leaving for school in the dark and the construction industry was concerned about morning accidents. The act was amended in October 1974 (P.L. 93-434) to return to standard time for four months, beginning October 27, 1974, and ending February 23, 1975, when DST resumed.[12] When the trial ended in October 1975, the country returned to observing summer DST (with the aforementioned exceptions).[

I'd much rather have more sunlight in the evening than in the morning, tradeoff I'm fine with making.

Papi not even kidding run into me on the street I’ll butt **** you so hard you’ll have a ruptured sphincter for the rest of your life

Not all folks have bankers hours most the construction world starts at 6 or 7 am particularly in the summer to beat the heat. Enjoy your evening on the deck relaxing with saws hammers and all sorts racket :D.

Really don't care that much either way I will retire soon so longer evening will be ok for me.

Finagle the clocks twice a year was **** it so what to me.

I remember walking to school as a kid in the dark one year. (Back when kids walked to school.)

It was a drag.

School should start later.

^what a dumb post

Sorry to interrupt your continued whining, but when sunrise is X, it doesn't mean that it is pitch-black dark out until that very minute.

As an old dude myself, there is way too much old man whining in this thread. Human beings somehow survived thousands of years without knowing of daylight savings time. We will adapt just fine to not having this archaic legacy from old men.
