The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday in the noon hour.
QUESTION: Do you think we should end daylight saving time once and for all once we push our clocks forward one hour on Sunday morning?
Talk about it.
The Water Cooler – Should Daylight Saving Time Be Eliminated?
Yes. It is outdated and no longer necessary. California voted to keep the time on spring forward. That’s taking forever to get approved.
Here is the link t Proposition 7

Yes, it causes more problems than solutions. Some folks love it because they like that it is daylight for awhile after they get off work. Well maybe they should more to Washington because with DST it didn’t get dark until 9PM in the summer. I noted how much earlier it gets dark here. Plus those that want DST year round don’t seem to know that the Chamber of Commerce if big on DST because people will stop off at stores on the way home.
What ? ? ?
You mean the car and microwave
would be wrong all year long !
.
Seriously, advance Sunday and leave it that way.
Daylight Savings Time,

Yes. Leave it on Standard time year round.
I don’t care one way or the other. Every time we have to change the clocks, this topic comes
up, and people will complain. It doesn’t bother me when I have to change my clocks at all. I
have more important things to think about. Yesterday, Trump was asked if he will end DST,
he said he’d like to, but it’s 50/50, because half the people want it and the other half don’t.
I don’t think we will be seeing an end to DST anytime soon.
Proposition 7 in 2018 gave the State the authority to change DST.
The State has refused to do so. Sadly, there was no mandate in the Proposition.
Even if there was a mandate, I doubt the State would react.
There’s no money in it for them.
Such changes need to be approved by Congress because it effects more than the state but rest of the Union that deals with them. ⏰
Why is the end of daylight savings time Cher’s favorite day of the year?
Because she can actually turn back time
YES!
Does it even matter what we think? Seems we voted on this and the government ignored it anyway.
Yes! Voters said this years ago! …. And do you think Sacto listens to its constituents? Nooooooo …. Just like other measures the citizens of CA voted on & Newscum & co. do what they want anyway
The only problem I have with DST is that it starts a month too early and ends a month too late. Otherwise, I’m definately a fan of Daylight Saving Time.
So called “year round Daylight Saving Time would be a bad idea. Darkness late into the morning would be undesireable at best. If people can’t stand two time changes a year, Standard Time (when the sun is highest in the sky at about noon) would be better.
Did we not vote to end it?
regardless of how I voted, if the majority want to
eliminate then eleminate.
There is always a rise in serious traffic accidents in the days after the clock being moved forward…Just watch the news next week. Don’t disrupt people’s sleep cycles.
End Day Light Savings, … it does not save energy.
It’s just being shifted.
No time change, …. leave it at Stanard.
Let’s clarify some things.
1) California Prop was not to cancel Daylight Savings Time but to stay on it permanently.
2) US Law does not allow states to stay on DST. If you want to stay on standard time that is allowed. (See Hawaii and Arizona)
3) Staying on Daylight Savings Time was tried in the early 70’s, people hated it as it took so long for sun to come up in the Winter.
DST doesn’t have much effect for countries or states in the Tropics like Hawaii. The sun doesn’t move much latitude wise there.
I prefer changing yearly between DST and PST, but if given the choice of one or the other, it would be permanent DST. I don’t get the “big deal” about how hard it is to change by one time zone. If you never have traveled out of the same time zone, maybe you would have a small problem with the change. However, most people can adjust to several time zones relatively easily.
Anyone else up for a Purge?
Or down for one, depending on your approach.
legislated adjustment of the clock should end. I also find it odd that Daylight Savings Time is 8 months of the year, while Standard time is only 4 months. You’d think that Standard time would represent a longer period of time than the adjusted “savings” time (welcome to the inner workings of my current mind).
