8 thoughts on “Permanent daylight saving time: The clock is ticking in Congress

    1. +! Charles. Except the scientific consensus is to go with Standard Time all year, not DST as the senate-passed legislation proposes.

  1. Yes, stopping the bi-annual change of clocks will finally end the biggest joke we’ve ever played in ourselves! Unfortunately a permanent daylight time is only good for the east coast. The folks in Indiana will hopefully and finally realize Central time will be best for us, since we are on the western edge of Eastern zone. Next week it will be dark at 8 am again. What a depressing and self defeating time for going to work and going to school. At high moon our sun will be at 1-1:30 Pm. Spring and summer are nature’s way of giving us an earlier sunrise to get up and at it!

  2. This whole issue depends on where you live in the time zone. It’s probably a good thing for people in Boston who won’t see sunrises any later than 8:00am but here 9:00am sunrises in the coldest months of the year is a problem. If this passes, I think there will then be a big push to move Indiana to the Central time zone.

    1. Agree, if the nation adopts DST instead of Standard Time, then IN should move to Central – which we should have done in the first place!

    1. Or say yes and move Indiana to central time. Same results.

      Bottom line is we all agree that changing the clocks needs to stop. Let’s get that done first.
