President-elect Donald Trump vowed that the Republican Party would “use its best efforts” to get rid of Daylight Saving Time.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump described Daylight Saving Time as being “inconvenient” and “costly” to the United States.
“The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t,” Trump wrote. “Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation. more
Tell me in June that you want the sun to come up at 4 am. But don’t tell me now, when we are off DST, or even in March or November when we switch. Tell me in June.
Yup. Get rid of it. It’s an anachronism and a pain in the ass.
DOGE bros have proposed this as well.
get rid of that pedocrat bullshit
It’s about time.
I get paid 4 hours Sunday double time just to set dozens of regulatory clocks that can’t automatically set twice a year, so I kinda like it.
If they get rid of it, I hope they stick with Standard Time. People don’t realize it will be dark until almost 9 AM even in some places that aren’t that far north.
Stick with standard time and just move it back 1/2 an hour. Compromise.
The number of heart attacks increase by 24% during day light savings time. To much stress on the ticker.
Meh. I leave for work at 0430 every day, so I’m not gonna see the sunrise either way.
I’m no fan of DST, but I think there are a few thousand matters that are more pressing…
I don’t remember it, but they say they tried it in the seventies and kids walking to school in the morning in the dark got hit by cars. I don’t remember quite a bit of the seventies.
I hate this shit. If only because it cuts down on baseball practice for my son.
Less daylight = less global warming. Duh.
Daylight savings time is a fabricated construct instituted in the industrial age to make workers more productive and reward them with more free sunlight, rather than a raise.
DST is stupid, there is the same amount of daylight regardless of what time we call it. Never understood why some people think we are manipulating the actual amount of day light by turning the clocks. All you need to do is adjust your personal schedule.
Arizona dumped it years ago, and it works just fine. Now how about a law that forces Costco to open earlier?
If it wasn’t for the negative effects, it would have been gone decades ago.
