[rick64]

U.S. Senate approves bill to make daylight saving time permanent

The U.S. Senate on Tuesday passed legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent starting in 2023, ending the twice-annual changing of clocks in a move promoted by supporters advocating brighter afternoons and more economic activity.

I wish they'd synchronize all time zones to central time...the way God intended.

It would be farewell to standard time. Daylight savings time would become permanent.

If there's only Daylight Savings Time, wouldn't it then become "standard"?

Central Time is far superior than Eastern Time! I miss Central Time.

I like the way you think.

lol. I've lived in the Eastern time zone for 21 years now and I still want to turn on the tv at 7 instead of 8

I will too.

DST can DIAF. I'm in early riser. I run in the mornings. It would be nice if it wasn't dark until 7:00 am half of the year.

That's just being selfish - it doesn't discuss kids waiting for the bus or walking to school in the dark just because "I don't like it being dark when I leave work".

“The National Association of Convenience Stores opposes the change, telling Congress this month "we should not have kids going to school in the dark." “

Now that NAoCS has chimed in, I don’t know what to think.


Obviously we should all change to Eastern Time. It has New York, Boston, the beach, the Appalachian mountains, the Gatlinburg Papa John’s, the home of the greatest tradition in college basketball, Kings Island, Cedar Pointe, The Statue of Liberty, the nation’s Capital, my house, the good part of the Gulf of Mexico, The i-75-I-64 corridor, several new Buccee’s, the Live Nude Girls AND Adult World spots on 75 south, etc. Obviously I could go on.

What does central time have? Sinkholes that eat Corvettes? Arkansas? Cities named after the adjoining state? What a bunch of malarkey.

EST/EDT for all!

 

[gobigbluebell]

What does central time have?

Old man softball leagues, and corn!

I got no problem with that. Then every place can set their own hours to do things. People in NY would still get up 3 hours before people in LA.

Quick question: Is Buc-ee's a member in good standing of NAoCS? Seems important now that Kentucky has one.

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

I prefer Island Time. I’m living it even as I type this from a beach house on St Croix, USVI.

Buc-ee’s is so much more than a convenient store. They are a member of NATO, for example.

I support a commodity system which has to account for GMT to EPT differences and twice a year the stupid missing hour prices, spring forward, or the duplicate hour prices, fall back. I’ll be glad when the lunacy stops. Pick one, I don’t care, then stick with it. /rant

Jerky bar, cheap ice, and nuclear deterrence all under one roof.

DST, EST, GMT, whatever. My coworker uses something called CPT that’s kind of like DST because he’s always running an hour later.

Don't even mention that damn GMT. I talk to some people in European countries and they would throw out that it is _______GMT there or _______GMT + __. Eff all that nonsense. You're EDT + __. Time to adapt to our way of doing things since you failed to jump in with our imperial measurement system.

 

[lex cath]

Isn’t daylight savings time racist ?

 

[Nightwish84]

No.

 

[lex cath]

No.

My bad, I thought it was. Kind of like those racist underpasses

would you consider kentucky to be a part of the south?

 

[lex cath]

would you consider kentucky to be a part of the south?

As a Louisiana native, yes definitely but you didn’t ask me so I thought I would jump in

Hear you there. But once we pick EDT, we‘ll always be 5 hours diff from GMT. Going to make my work life easier.

It’s the overpasses that are racist.

 

[lex cath]

It’s the overpasses that are racist.

Thanks 83 !

 

[Blue63Madison]

would you consider kentucky to be a part of the south?

When I lived in Kentucky, yes. Since I moved to South Georgia, no.

 

[ukgrad83]

When I lived in Kentucky, yes. Since I moved to South Georgia, no.

Thankfully most places still serve sweet tea here though. Go any further north and all bets are off.

 

[RunninRichie]

kentucky is upper south. Georgia is deep south. lol

Tulsa Time

 

[JumperJack]

So sunrise after 8:00 in January?

 

[Lexie's Dad]

So sunrise after 8:00 in January?

Yeah, but it will be sunny when we leave work (and it's 18 degrees).

I'm against anything the f****** US Senate is for. I'm sure they're making money off of it somehow.

 

[funKYcat75]

We should switch to decimal time anyway.

 

[LordEggForgotHisPassword_rivals]

It Greenwich mean time or bust you colonial peons.

Bucees is over 500 miles from where I live. That isn’t very convenient at all. In fact it is very inconvenient.

 

[TortElvisII]

This is the answer right here.
