"This year at least 21 state legislatures — California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming, according to the blog Time Zone Report — have bills that would #locktheclock one way or another"

It would be great. I hate the time change

Daylight savings time is a diseconomic subsidy to red states. If it were pulled, any negative economic side-effects would be confined there. Do it.

Get rid of DST.

[Anonymous]

I hope we do it the other way, and keep DST the whole year. I HATE dark evenings. Mornings, meh, who cares.

DST is a huge pain in the ass. If they put that on the midterm ballot, I'd guess probably 85% of eligible voters, and most certainly anyone with young kids, would hightail it to the polls on Election Day.

I could get behind eliminating the switch, but only if we keep EDT and scrap EST.

Yes. EST is great for an agrarian society where you have farmers who need the sunlight to work early hours. In an urban society you want more sunlight later for families to enjoy after work hours and to allow workers to patronize businesses after work in daylight instead of darkness. Retail businesses do better with evening daylight than morn8ng daylight so its better for the economy.

Me too! I thought I was the only one who felt this way but apparently not. I hate the adjustment of the time change but I love that it stays light longer!

This is my vote too! I actually feel happier now that there's light out until 7pm! We get to go to the park after work instead of playing inside.
