I don’t have a problem, but it should be daylight STANDARD time.  We were always told noon is the high point of the sun in our sky.  “Savings” (which is the mod, and implies it as well) means 1:00 high.  Doesn’t make sense.

I don't know whether he likes the "spring forward, fall back" motif, or would rather see year-round standard time.  :shrug:

If you live in the Western portion of any time zone, year-round DST means late sunrises in the winter (December - mid-February) well after 8:00am.

Examples for January 10th:

Tampa, FL -      Sunrise: 8:22am
Atlanta, GA -    Sunrise: 8:42am
Dallas, TX -      Sunrise: 8:30am
Louisville, KY -  Sunrise: 8:59am
S L City, UT -    Sunrise: 8:51am

That's why people complained about it the last time it was tried.

Standard time would be better - but it would also mean very early sunrises in the summer for people in the Eastern portion of their time zone. 

Examples for June 10th:

Boston, MA  -   Sunrise: 4:07am
Chicago, IL -    Sunrise: 4:15am
Nashville, TN - Sunrise: 4:29am

I would bet big money that the sun rose and set at the very same times in the year 1026 as it does in 2026 in every location on earth so can we PLEASE stop wasting millions of man hours messing with our clocks twice a year?

Yes, I can see that. I don't suppose we could force the entire world to change their clocks.  :laugh:
I still prefer we just stick with standard time, and live with it.

It does no such thing. Daylight is still distributed as it always has been.

Before they don't learn to read or do math! Before they don't learn not to say "like" 10,000 times per day! Before they don't learn about George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, or any American history before 1970!

Oh, the humanity.

I just have to assume most parents have no idea what goes on in those places, which is why they have the energy to worry about transportation.
