11. Where do you live?

Mon Mar 21, 2022, 03:59 PM

Mar 2022

I live at 47 degrees N. With Standard Time, the sun comes up before 8 in Dec & Jan, it is Civil Twilight from 7:20 at worst.

Add an hour on to those times for Permanent DST and that's in the dark.

It would be easier to just have school start an hour later. Meadowoak Mar 2022 #18

Um... that's what happens on Standard Time maxsolomon Mar 2022 #66

yep jcgoldie Mar 2022 #68

Wouldn't it be easier to change school and work schedules than clocks? hunter Mar 2022 #49

I don't know why so many people think this is an impossible thing to do. nt. Mariana Mar 2022 #21

The whole idea (flawed though it might be) of DST is that it's supposedly easier... Silent3 Mar 2022 #25

No. Celerity Mar 2022 #38

Your early winter midday is about 11:50am; permanent DST would make it 12:50pm muriel_volestrangler Mar 2022 #53

Losing an hour of sunlight in the middle of the day is far worse than Celerity Mar 2022 #55

The point is that 9:45 is closer to the middle of the day than 14:46 is muriel_volestrangler Mar 2022 #56

there are far more people out and about in the early afternoon than the morning Celerity Mar 2022 #57

This is the first real chance we've had to stick to one time kcr Mar 2022 #62

They have time for this, but no time to legalize weed? Emile Mar 2022 #29

It would never make it through the Senate maxsolomon Mar 2022 #41

Bwhaha Emile Mar 2022 #51

OK, you tell me why they don't do anything about it. maxsolomon Mar 2022 #54

Because they are ignorant and willfully stupid! Emile Mar 2022 #61

I don't buy that. maxsolomon Mar 2022 #65

What polls do you believe? Just the ones you agree with? Show me Emile Mar 2022 #69

even if it did, Biden may well veto it, he is not pro-legalisation at all Celerity Mar 2022 #58

If we are going to go to Standard Time all year then I would rather just stick with the time change. Quixote1818 Mar 2022 #30
