(5,252 posts)The concept works to shorten winter days. Shit, even in Chicago, we have long light summer days, and there aren't many places on the map that have shorter light days year around than Chicago.

(17,997 posts)I think there's a petition to just stay on DST instead of standard time

(5,252 posts)...just stay on "summer hours." Like the poster above said, move the clocks forward and LEAVE THEM

(5,252 posts)people here who are saying they love it are really making the case against it, because they are saying they hate moving the clocks back in the fall.
Just scrap it in the Spring and there's no such thing as DST or ST. Poof! "Summer hours" all year 'round.
sir pball
(5,350 posts)So yes, I'm all for this!
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
