OK twice a year we have the debate should we just leave the clocks the same year-round and if so what should we have standard time or daylight-saving time? Of course, we don't save any daylight by messing with the clock just shift the time of day. I am in favor of keeping standard time year-round. That is the time that most closely has the sun at it's highest point at the center of the day or high noon in winter it is darker longer in the morning and earlier in the evening, but high noon remains the pretty much constant. In the summer it is lighter earlier in the morning and stays light later in the evening, but high noon is still pretty much the highest point for the sun. While shifting the day may help some people it also hurts others so let's quit picking winners and losers and just leave it year-round standard time. When the government starts messing with things like this they mess things up. What say you

I believe we would survive if we got rid of the changing of the clocks!

I think for the country kids who ride the bus from school like getting home before dark one advantage of day light savings

This topic comes up every time we get to this time of year where we have the time change it always goes back and forth and there is good reason on both sides of the table to why we should or should not have the change I’m on the side of keeping the clock ⏰ at no change if it’s dark or light it’s natural the concept of a 24 hour system is man made

I like the story attributed to a wise old Indian:

Only a white man can cut one end off a rope and tie it to the other end and call it a longer rope!

It takes an act of congress to change it, so there's not much hope

Arizona and Hawaii both stay on standard time so it is possible

Right. I thought the decision was made to stop changes 2 a year. But I guess I should read up if it has for sure or not.

I know our state legislature voted to stay on daylight saving time but it takes congressional approval for that but the report was if they had decided to stay on standard time year round they wouldn't have needed congressional approval. maybe that is why they choose to stay on daylight saving time because it gets the off the hook without actually changing anything
