PLEASE! More daylight hours all year is a positive for everyone. School kids waiting in the dark for busses isn't as much of an issue anymore since schools finally came to their senses and quit starting school at 7:15/7:30. Starting later makes more sense for kids and negates any negative of DST!!!!

Why not. It lets your inner clock stay in sync.

It's a real pain to keep switching back and forth. I have at least 10 clocks that have to be changed by hand. And, the original purpose back in WWI has long since become obsolete.

There are no more hours per day in “daylight saving time” in a 24 hour day then there are in Standard Time. Why are we changing the time to permanent DST. Why not permanent Standard Time like we had for many years. The kids would not have to go to school during quite as many dark hours. Think about

An old native American was asked what he thouight about the new daylight saving. He replied,"only the federal government would cut six inches off of the top of a blanket sew it on to the bottom and think he has a larger blanket".

We already tried it; people hated it so much it was quickly reversed. Most of the people wanting to do this weren't alive when that failure of a policy was tried.

I want STANDARD time to be permanent! We started at standard time, why not go back to where we started? Why change it to Daylight savings time? I think it is creepy for it to be daylight at 9 PM!

Mother Nature provides longer daylight during the summer months. We should keep it at standard time forever.

I don't want it to be dark in the mornings in winter. Students catching school buses will be in total darkness. Not a good thing.

Yes, but inflation is out of control now. This should have been done months ago. It will have to be raised many more times, which will seriously hurt the economy. Brace for a recession. This problem was caused by, and solely by, the administration in power.

More people die in car and related accidents from such an abrupt change in their routine. And it's twice every year that this happens.

It all depends on your geographic location IN the time zone whether there is any benefit .

It seems pointless to keep doing it in a world that runs 24/7. It's a tactic that may have worked at conserving energy in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. But in a world that runs non-stop, it just seems unnecessary. And that's without mentioning the alleged health problems it causes.

It's taxing on mental health to be constantly adjusting the time just so companies get to have workers come in earlier and have an excuse for it.
