He’s not even sworn in yet and is telling us the sun will never set again after 8pm in Maryland, yeah, that makes me upset.

Here are those “liberal tears” you folks are craving so much, the fact that my grandkids aren’t going to have late summer evenings out playing, yeah, that ticks me off.

In the past liberals were screaming at the top of their lungs to get rid of DST and not that is “Trump” saying he wants to look into doing it you are creaming at the top of your lungs against it. Pick a stance and stick with it for one in your freaking life.

You lying POS, there has never been a bunch of liberals screaming for an end to DST! If there were it was never said by me.

My grandkids have daylight to about 11 PM in the summer. Their other grandparents used to have a nice cottage a bit farther north where it's daylight 24 hours in the summer.

Guess I’m packing us all up to the arctic circle! Don’t worry, I’ll still post from there 😉

Personally, it doesn't matter a whole lot to me. I wake up with the sun, whenever that happens. Right now it's around 6:45-7:00am. In the summer, it will be closer to 5:30. Right now, I'm ready for dinner at 4:30 and feel like I should be in bed, but look at the clock and it's only 7:30pm. Ugh. In the summer, dinner could be as late as 9pm. I'm totally driven by the sunrise/sunset because I have no reason to follow a clock.

I do enjoy a longer pleasant summer evening, but in reality it's so damn hot here you're inside anyway.

I've always hated DST. The 24 hour clock was invented to be when the sun was overhead at noon, complete opposite at midnight. Modified a bit in modern civilization to account for time zones. If you want more daylight at the end of the day in the summer, start the day earlier. If sunrise is too late in the winter, start schools later. Why is it harder for people to flex their time than it is to actually change the clock? Leave the clock alone.

Then the people would line up to bitch about businesses changing their work/operating hours several times a year.

I agree. So do I. But a lot of jobs have flex time hours you can take advantage of. It depends on what you do. Same way telework depends on what you do. Not everybody can take advantage of it, but it's what life you choose for yourself.

Can't stay on daylight saving, Russia is on year round daylight saving. Can't be like his buddy Putin.🤣
Other advance nations that don't switch, Greenland, Iceland, Belarus, and Turkey. 🙄

Standard will now be known as Freedom Time.🇺🇲🎆🎇

Someone has to act like a president.
Damn, your mood swings are too noticeable. Your first post was very sensible!
Didn't the prozac stay effective long enough?

Love Trump but year round standard time definitely isn't freedom time. Enjoy summer deck time after work, a little yard work, little league games, softball, etc. All end earlier due to darkness.

Same clowns that bellyache about having to change the stupid clock twice a year will be the ones complaining about it being so light-so early in the morning come summer, about 4:30 am in SM if on standard time.

Permanent DST might work but things will be a tad dark for the kiddies going to school and commuters every morning. Morning SM car flipping accidents definitely increase.
