He was quoted out of context. He wants to separately eliminate daylight, savings, and time.
If I remember correctly, the issue last time is that they wanted us on permanent Daylight Savings Time, instead of Standard Time. So I expect Trump to force the U.S. onto permanent DST, just because all science says it would be worse for us than going to Standard.
How is it worse? I want permanent DST so bad
Standard time is better for health, someone maybe a better argument for it in some other thread
I hate Trump as much as the next guy, but I want permanent DST. I want it to be light when I get home so I can spend some time outside without a flashlight. I don’t care if it’s dark in the morning, I’m working. Don’t tell me to just work different hours, I already work 6am-3pm, which is the earliest I’m allowed at my current job, and a lot earlier than allowed by many jobs. I still only get about an hour before dark where I live.
Sunrise here 10:20 and sunset 12:30. Darkness is our fren
Based
Can we get rid of timezones and switch to UTC please
A bill has been floating in the house and senate for a few years. Trump could have got it done back in 2019. So why is this the only thing he can pass?
To avoid confusion, all of the US will be on DTT (Donald Trump Time), which will vary based on where he currently is.
Do not give him ideas, please.
Aotus says a lot of things including how he would like to bang his daughter.
Permanent Standard Time people are weird. I do not give a shit if its dark when I’m going to work, but seeing the sun going down at 3pm fucks with my mental health. Winter is miserable purely for that reason, I can deal with the cold, not that.
Isn’t standard time when the sun sets later? I remember after our dst change the sun goes down much quicker
Seeing a lot of talk on here about keeping Standard or DST.
Oh my God for the love of all that’s holy just let them pick one!
I don’t care if the sun comes up at 2:00am or 2:00pm or even if the sun fuckin’ sets at 12:00 noon. Just pick a time and stick with it. Holy shitsnax.
Couldn’t have stated it more succinctly myself. Just pick one and stop this idiocy
Upvote for shitsnax… sploosh
God I hope he doesn’t ruin this long overdue improvement.
I mean, I have no great love for DST, but I have no faith that they can do anything but completely fuck it up somehow. Whatever results will be at best, no measurable improvement, but at least a monumental pain in the ass for those who have to do the work to keep shit on schedule during the morass.
If they’re using the 2022 bill they’re already fucking it up. Kids are going to be walking to school in the dark in winter and get hit by cars because they want to pretend that we’re a few thousand miles east of where we actually are.
They’re going to move it 30 mins to meet in the middle…
I mean it seems to work for India, Nepal, etc.
They say even a blind squirrel finds a nut from time to time.
Lol trump doing something i actually support
Finally something even the left can get behind.
This has been in talks for years already. This is not a Trump thing The Senate passed the act that would have removed it unanimously in 2022
With all this insane shit going on, it might actually end up having one benefit
We need to keep daylight savings and eliminate standard time. We’re on standard time right now. I hate it getting dark at 5pm.
While most people seem to say they prefer DST, research strongly supports permanent standard time.
2/3rd of the research in that link is anecdotal. Further, I still want DST to be permanent. I like it dark in the morning and light further into the day.
Exactly. I’d much rather have more daylight during “my” time after work than while I’m at work in the morning.
Fuck DST. I hate it staying dark in the morning.
Fite me.
“Flying groin kick!”
Seriously. DST fucks with my sleep schedule so badly when I have to get up before sunrise…
For sure, it’s depressing as hell for it to get dark so early.
As someone in daylight savings time now, it’s still bright outside at 830pm and that needs to stop
As someone who doesn’t like the sun that thing needs to stop
