Because it's confusing to a lot of people. Why do we need to do this anymore?

the reason for daylight savings time is no longer valid. It's really an inconvenience to a lot of people

It's a twice a year nuisance. Unlike Biden, who is a daily nuisance. Biden should also be abolished.

It’s called gay-light savings time for a reason.

If we abolished daylight savings time, in the middle of summer the sun would rise at 4:45am and set at 7:30pm. Personally, I would not like the sun rising before 5am and I enjoy being able to do outdoor activities until 9:00pm instead of 8:00pm! It’s not about the couple of inconvenient days—think!!

Daylight saving time does not change the number of daylight hours in a day, and farmers get up before sunrise anyway. What were you thinking?

Trump and his goons in every state in every department are running it into the ground acting like it's the best thing ever and it's not. People are suffering now more then his first term or even during Biden term

> "Trump and his goons" Goons? It's 2025. Trump is a lot of things, but comparing he and his team continued success to a childish name, you need better sources of your insults. For example, stop using The Rolling Stone as a primary news source.

Then, you prefer the 9% inflation for 4 straight years, instead of 2.9%. Where did you get your economics degree?

We're too close to 2026 and it'll take a long time to reverse.

That was during a period of worldwide inflation ... and we were actually doing better than most other advanced countries. Inflation is higher now than when Biden left office.

Compare November 2025 to November 2026 ... roughly same and 2026 figure was held down by the government shutdown. Let's check back at this time next year and you try to explain away the recession.

Inflation is less than 1/3rd of when Biden was in office. Fix your calculator.

Biden tactics were destroying the world's economies.

The U.S. dollar dominates the world economy due to its role as the primary reserve currency, backed by the massive U.S. economy, unmatched financial market liquidity, and historical inertia since the 1944 Bretton Woods system. It facilitates 88% of global exchange transactions, 54% of trade
