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

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

Bwhaha Emile Mar 2022 #51

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

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