Sen Wyden: "Like losing an hour of sleep? Neither do I." Co-sponsoring bill to ditch DST [View all] Dennis Donovan Mar 2020 OP

are people really that delicate that they cannot lose ONE HOUR of sleep Skittles Mar 2020 #1

I do work the night shift - and this robs me of one hours Ms. Toad Mar 2020 #10

Don't care how it ends up shanti Mar 2020 #16

It's not about losing the hour, it's about lifestyle pat_k Mar 2020 #22

I guess I don't understand what is so bad about going to work in the dark Skittles Mar 2020 #38

Coming home in the dark is depressing -- permanent DST you are going to work in the dark. pat_k Mar 2020 #43

OK I am bowing out Skittles Mar 2020 #46

In the shortest days of the year I went to work in the dark and came home in the dark Thekaspervote Mar 2020 #62

Yep. pat_k Mar 2020 #66

Yes. I don't get off work until 7:00 p.m. and I am so much happier in the summer. Laffy Kat Mar 2020 #78

Everyone on this site must be old. docgee Mar 2020 #56

I don't have kids, but most people don't mention that Skittles Mar 2020 #60

I think the poster above mentioning getting rid of standard time, docgee Mar 2020 #63

yeah Skittles Mar 2020 #64

LOL, yeah, it seams they should have more important things to work on. docgee Mar 2020 #65

If support for letting states do what they want is high, not much work involved. pat_k Mar 2020 #72

No, that would cause too much confusion. docgee Mar 2020 #82

That would be solved by... pat_k Mar 2020 #87

Actually, above the 45th parallel... pat_k Mar 2020 #70

Amen to that DENVERPOPS Mar 2020 #42

It's just not necessary or needed. rickyhall Mar 2020 #37

Do you live above the 45th parallel? pat_k Mar 2020 #44

I live above the 45th, and I hate DST Blecht Mar 2020 #54

No. I wouldn't mind one way or the other, just not both. rickyhall Mar 2020 #80

They have proven scientifically DENVERPOPS Mar 2020 #55

I like Wyden, but this is not important right now. Not at all. hlthe2b Mar 2020 #2

Maybe, Mme. Defarge Mar 2020 #3

well, there is that... hlthe2b Mar 2020 #6

Why can they not do more than one thing at a time? nt USALiberal Mar 2020 #12

They can, but given the situation, the more eyes on what the admin is and is not doing, the better hlthe2b Mar 2020 #19

Yeah, but he's doing lots of other good stuff. nilram Mar 2020 #18

Bigger fish to fry right now, Senator yonder Mar 2020 #4

Surprisingly Sherman A1 Mar 2020 #7

Yes but. As a DST fan, I would admit bias against the change yonder Mar 2020 #71

He's frying lots of fish. nilram Mar 2020 #20

I guarantee you don't want DENVERPOPS Mar 2020 #69

not clear if he wants to move to year-round DST or year-round ST gristy Mar 2020 #8

I read "ditch daylight savings" as year-round ST. I want the other way -- year-round DST) pat_k Mar 2020 #27

Might be time central scrutinizer Mar 2020 #9

Yes, please DarthDem Mar 2020 #11

It never had anything to do with farmers in the first place, so don't worry about them. scarletwoman Mar 2020 #24

That was my impression DarthDem Mar 2020 #83

Other way. Ditch standard for year-round DST pat_k Mar 2020 #29

Agreed! dflprincess Mar 2020 #61

That's Fine DarthDem Mar 2020 #84

The farmers DENVERPOPS Mar 2020 #48

That's what I thought as well DarthDem Mar 2020 #85

Fine with me The Genealogist Mar 2020 #13

We need permanent DST, not the opposite, the EU may finally do this soon, I hate it getting darker Celerity Mar 2020 #14

I like DST. Kingofalldems Mar 2020 #15

So do I. greatauntoftriplets Mar 2020 #26

Yep. Better to ditch standard pat_k Mar 2020 #30

Think of all the people in DENVERPOPS Mar 2020 #50

Yes! Freddie Mar 2020 #31

Wonderful! Getting rid of the absurd mandatory hours changes would be fabulous! scarletwoman Mar 2020 #17

Which way do you want it? Year-round 1) Standard Time or 2) Daylight Savings? pat_k Mar 2020 #21

same here FoxNewsSucks Mar 2020 #25

this is what the EU will soon (hopefully) do. Here in Sweden standard time SUCKS in the late fall Celerity Mar 2020 #75

I'm probably with you DarthDem Mar 2020 #86

NO. roamer65 Mar 2020 #23

You, me, and several people above prefer year-round DST pat_k Mar 2020 #32

Maybe split it down the middle --- 1/2 hour off of each side and keep it that way. 3Hotdogs Mar 2020 #28

I think the legislation... pat_k Mar 2020 #33

So true. LisaM Mar 2020 #35

Stop it. Just stop it. LisaM Mar 2020 #34

Sunrise before 4:30 am? Tom Kitten Mar 2020 #40

No! I look forward to longer light in the evenings! tavernier Mar 2020 #41

Simple solution: ditch Standard Time.... brooklynite Mar 2020 #45

meh relayerbob Mar 2020 #49

We voted to get rid of it in California karin_sj Mar 2020 #51

I just wish they would leave it as is now. Otherwise, the sun will be rising at 4:30AM in the summer C Moon Mar 2020 #57

A Hymn for Sen. Wyden aka-chmeee Mar 2020 #67

Ditch STANDARD TIME instead Warpy Mar 2020 #68

I completely agree. I'm a night owl and I'm tired of a world controlled by worm eaters. diane in sf Mar 2020 #74

I prefer the daylight at the end of the day when I have to drive home from work. diane in sf Mar 2020 #73

With all due respect, fuck this, how many hours of sleep have I lost rzemanfl Mar 2020 #77

Wyden is my Senator, but I'm afraid I can't agree with him on this. Paka Mar 2020 #79

I have always hated it. sinkingfeeling Mar 2020 #81
