Daylight Savings Time might become permanent

[TigerClaw]

The US Senate has approved a bill that would make daylight savings time permanent, So we don't have to change the clocks any more, The bill needs to pass the house, and then the president would have to sign it to make it into law, And if it does then daylight savings time would become permanent in 2023.

If the "savings" period is permanent, not the "regular" time... can my saved hours roll over so I can save them up and use them to sleep in for a day?

Though I don't see much point in which to go with other than within whatever time the decisions takes effect...


Only thing I'd miss is extra hour in the fall when it "falls back." That was always nice.

I would prefer permanent standard time. There is a point when it gets annoying the sun never sets in the summer.

Daylight Savings Time should just be done away with. People still don't like losing an hour of their day.

I read that the school kids benefit from it, but that's a fib. A lot of kids are still drowsy at school, and the sun doesn't rise when people want it to. Also, the kiddos should have the option to stay inside their homes if they want to, especially if it's still dark or raining / snowing in the morning. Buses do have horns.

That may be fine for those kids who get the bus in front of their house, but they don't really do that where I am anymore. I don't think buses have dropped kids off at houses on my road since the 80s, it's always been at the end of the road since then so waiting in the house isn't really doable for both needing to hear the horn and not leave the bus waiting and make it late.

My nephew is only in kindergarten this year and his stop isn't even in our own neighborhood, it's at the end of some other one down the road and past a traffic light, which for the suburbs is absurd. :tgrumble: I wish it was at the end of our own road, so if something happened and no one was there to get him one day he could at least safely walk home himself.
