“Republicans are once again attempting to make Daylight Saving Time permanent, with President Donald Trump promising to lead the push to end the longstanding American practice of switching clocks twice a year.”

    I’m still hugely in favor of a permanent dlt. It fucking sucks to be dark as hell before you even get home from a normal work day. If your going to cage the public till 5pm, at least give the opportunity at a brief bit of light.

      It fucking sucks to be dark as hell before you even get home from a normal work day.

      The solution for that is adjusting working hours, not the clocks.

      Noon should always be the hour nearest the sun’s peak.

        That means you’d have to adjust the clock all the time. End of October for instance, were on “normal time” but high noon is almost 1 pm. Not 12.
