US President endorses bill to lock the clocks in current Daylight Savings Time

For northern states it almost doesn&#x27;t matter, the latitude completely dominates the length of the day.<p>However I am irked at &#x27;noon&#x27; being so far from solar noon year round, that&#x27;s about the only solid reason to go back to &#x27;standard&#x27; time so that at least in the median of timezones that time is approximately the same.<p>Southern states? Just let people work 8-4 instead of 9-5. This problem is entirely manufactured by trying to change the ruler rather than the prescribed mark points on it.

They&#x27;ve flipped back and forth over the years, and the length has been tweaked as recently as 2007.<p>I think that what happens is everyone blames DST, but the real culprit is just that the days are shorter in the winter and there&#x27;s not much we can do about it.

Changing the numbers so that 1pm, rather than 12pm, now means noon is pointless and arbitrary, but if it makes people happy, whatever. I’d prefer we just switch to year-round correct time, but either option is much better than switching twice a year, so if this passes, I’m okay with it.

The US tried this in the &#x27;70s and people ended up hating it.

I&#x27;m the odd person out, I actually don&#x27;t mind it.<p>Yeah it&#x27;s inconvenient for about a few days, but I prefer being awake during the sunlight of the winter.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day

Well, that one actually makes sense

In the digital age, we should have 2D timezones where the time is slewed ever so slightly every night at 3 a.m., so that 6 a.m. is always dawn. That is the future.

I feel like I would like this until winter. Then I&#x27;ll wish we changed it again, but then in by summer I will change my mind again.

This is literally the only topic where I&#x27;ve ever agreed with the oompa loompa.

Works for me.
