Maybe we can get a law passed to slow the earth's rotation down between May-Sept.for all the gardeners.
But wouldn't that speed up the melting of Joe's ice cream? Just trying to avoid unintended consequences!

His Ice Cream melted years ago.
If I were a buck I would dang sure try to sell some does on that idea.....come fall I'd pretend I had never heard of such nonsense....
Senate just voted unanimously to do away with Standard Time and stick with daylight savings all year round.
PLEASE......make it so!

It's about time we stopped it...since the ERA finished up tossing creosote poles out of trucks and everybody has electric lights it makes zero sense. Farmers have always worked from light to dark and may or may not have had a clock about the place....it never really made a lot of sense to me....

Dark mornings ahead: Permanent daylight saving time would push winter sunrises to nearly 9 AM in some cities (foxweather.com)
So what does that mean for you? Mornings will be dark longer because the sun won't rise until after 8 a.m. in much of the U.S., and in some cities, the sunrise will be closer to 9 a.m.
Currently, the sunrise on Jan. 1 in Atlanta is at 7:42 a.m., but under the proposed year-round daylight saving time, it would be pushed to 8:42 a.m. It's not much better in New York City, where the sun would rise at 8:20 a.m.
Better than pitch dark at 5:30 PM. It's daylight a good while before the sun rises, also.

I'm up at 4 AM every morning, gone at 5. I can work in the dark. I like daylight for my little bit of leisure time in the afternoon.

You're right....I thought the original was approved by the house and was on its way to Senate. I'm wrong. First time for everything...

Happens to the best of us.
Like most things in life I am right smack in the middle of both of those groups! My thinking is that setting clocks forward and backwards is just a trick like my wife setting an alarm clock a little slow so when she wakes up in the middle of night she thinks she has longer to sleep and then sets it to alarm 30 minutes before she "has to get up"...her words, not mine...and boy have we had some words over that issue over the past 30 some odd years. There is going to whatever amount of daylight there is going to be no matter what a clock says. There will be more in the summer and less in the winter. It is the same 24 hours no matter what we call them.....

Correct, and for those that work on their own schedule or are retired it matters not, but when you have to jump through hoops for "the man" it can make a big difference with what time they "allow" you to start your day.

"Making daylight saving time permanent overlooks potential health risks that can be avoided by establishing permanent standard time instead," wrote the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
The Academy goes on to say that "current evidence best supports the adoption of year-round standard time, which aligns best with human circadian biology and provides distinct benefits for public health and safety."

My buddy from Maine that I work with said that when it gets dark at 4-5 oclock every evening, people become alcoholics.
