This will be blocked by a federal judge in HI if they ditch DST.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

It's hot enough in the summer, we don't need to wait until 9 PM for the sun to set.

I want DST year round.  I HATE getting home in the dark and trying to get stuff done.

As the story goes, an old Indian Chief once said, "Only a white man thinks he can make a blanket longer by cutting off material from the bottom and sewing it to the top."

Same for AZ.  As it is, it's >100 degrees at 10 PM most summer days.

AMEN Brother!  Especially in the winter time.  The sun goes down around 5 pm which leaves little to no time to do anything outside with the sun shining.

I want to mount some rockets to the Earth to correct the tip that causes seasons.  If I can't have them, nobody can.  Only a little /sarc.

I agree, 1/2 of every year I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark.
