Which means more electricity usage in many and most places during winter. The stupid thing is that in two weeks no one will give a shit. Further...what's right for the people in Rubio flo rida ain't the same needs for the people in Minnesota. So...if Flo Rida doesn't want to switch...then do that...if Minnesota wants to switch...then do that. But stop the Federal Government over reach and making one size rules that fits none.

Dude, if every state set their own time shifts, it would be chaos. No ****ing way. Just get rid of it forever.

They aren't removing hours from the day. If you use more at 7am, aren't you using less at 5pm?

Or something like that.

Arizona has been doing it there own way for a long time and nobody gives a shit. As well as parts of Indiana.

You Karens are just bitchy from changing your sleep cycle. Call it...time mensuration.

That's 2 states.

Have you ever tried to coordinate an international conference call?

It has nothing at all to do with my sleep schedule. I don't sleep.

It has everything to do with it being convoluted, superfluous, and utterly outdated. It's stupid, that's why it needs to change.

Now I know that it irritates people this much, I propose that we do it four time a year with 30 minute adjustments each time.

Daylight Savings Sucks. I wouldn’t mind earlier sunsets and later sunrises. I think I would actually get more rest without it. I wouldn’t have to wake up early as **** to get to the hunting blind and fishing for monster cats would start an hour earlier (more beer).

It's not the end of the world, but it's annoying when most of my out of state meetings change time every 6 months, but at least just about everyone else changes at once.

If you added 10 states who stayed on standard or DST... yeah, most people outside of that state wouldn't care most of the time, but it would be kind of reeruned to have to think twice about whether Florida was in EST or CDT or if MN was in CST or EDT, etc.

And who gives a shit if it's dark when you're at work at 8am or a little darker until 9am... at least it's lighter out when you're off work and might actually do stuff outside.

It's light here by 4:30-5am in June... looks around...

Yes. I do international calls all the time.

Then keep what ever time you want in your state or locale.

Your average person can't manage time changes. I get tired of having to manage it for them.

We already did this in the 70s and it didn't last a year. This will be the same...you watch.

[Katipan]

That sounds very much like a line from a bad movie in the 70s.

That's fine. At least try it. If people are too stupid to manage it, we'll have to change back. They're not good at it now, though so it's time to try something different.

We invented computers and phones and GPS in the 70s. No one cared.
