Let's Ditch Daylight Savings Time

[If_I_Loved_you]

I'm sick of the federal government imposing socialist time zones on us. Only God knows the hour of Jesus' return, not George Soros and his pals at the Greenwich observatory. Reject "Obama Savings Time"!

"I'm sick of the federal government imposing socialist time zones on us. " You act as if this started with Obama?

So my pretend ignorant right-wing conspiracy-mongering was believable?

Adam, I am guessing you are not a parent of small children.  Having to deal with changes to the sleep cycles of small ones, along with getting them off to school can make these time changes a real pain in the posterior.  I am guessing some parents don't see the issue as silly.

I have a child on the way. But again, the change it time means the difference between the sun coming up at 3.30 or 4.30 in the middle of the summer for me.

I'm sure there are lots of ways people are inconvenienced by these things. But we all learn to adjust.

Indeed, but why go through the "adjustment" if it is not needed?  Meanwhile, check back in with us on the issue after your baby is here and you deal with the night long "wake up calls".  lol  Those are the times you may just wonder about the term "adjust".

I think it's needed. Of course, if you really like having your days start that early (3.30 am), then I just can't argue with that. I'd rather we adjust by two hours - but one hour is a decent compromise.
