Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Wec don't do daylight saving in Arizona....except for some of the reservations. Sure takes a heavy load of of my mind, I gotta tell you. Twice a year I get to avoid this idiocy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I like daylight savings time changes. I get to find out who’s not smart enough to adjust a clock. It’s like a bi-annual free of charge IQ Test. Anyone that can’t figure it out is to be avoided and not trusted to handle anything sharp or that may cause harm. It’s a bonus gift to those of us that actually can walk and chew gum at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 In my experience the people that really hated the time changes were those that didn’t like to drive or go to work in the dark. In California (before I moved back here) there was a election that included stopping the time changes and setting the clocks permanently on DST (one hour ahead for the “challenged”). It passed and was sent to Congress (opposite of progress) for approval. That has not happened. I am sure it will not. Congress has much more pressing work to do, like screwing this country into the ground. I think this thread should be pinned so that every 6 months we can all just refer back to one thread instead of rehashing the celebration, the whining, the crying, the animosity, the vitriol, the humor, that time change brings.

Patagonia Pete Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Well ... it looks like they are trying to step on DST again this year ... Their current attempt ... the "Sunshine Protection Act of 2021" is on the table right now!! https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/u-s-senators-unveil-bill-to-make-daylight-saving-time-permanent-as-more-states-try-to-end-time-changes/ We don't change clocks here in most of Arizona ... but ... the times end up shifting on all the TV shows ... sooooooo ... Once it gets warm(er) ... the sun is in already in fazer/stun mode by 6am so ... kinda academic (dog walks start at 5). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat (what woke up in a testy mood) Riot Strangely, when Daylight Saving Time became Federal Law, no state could stay on Daylight Saving Time except by US Congressional approval. However, any state can stay on Standard Time without US Congressional approval. Arizona is a state that stays on Mountain Standard Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 instead of changing the clocks and screwing up the whole planet how about starting schools and opening businesses an hour later or an hour earlier.....or is that too simple for even simple people.

My brother, who owned a small retail business, said if businesses changed their hours, it wouldn’t be so simple. Businesses would have to spend a lot of money reprinting signs, cards, ads, etc. with the new hours. Changing everyone’s clocks was much easier. I’m happy that here in Arizona we just stay on Standard Time and nothing has to be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
