In the U.S., if it's not Daylight Saving Time, it's what?
Correct answer: Standard Time
Montana Lady
This had NOTHING to do with weather or trains! Daylight savings time was started to save power during WWI... now it wastes power it's obsolete and needs to go.

We should be able to vote the entire concept out of existence.

Mardell Riley, I dont know either but it sure causes a lot of havoc on the farm. When the cows finialy figure out they need to come in an hour early the time changes and now they stand for an hour with their bags full dripping milk all over the ground.

FaithfulReader, politicians don't give a crap what the people want. they are just in DC to get rich off of the taxpayers.

I hate DST with a passion. It’s an archaic practice that needs to end!

Player #1616747, hate to tell you, the sun shines for a specific number of hours each day based on the angle of the Earth's axis to the sun. you do not get "more sunlight" because you reset your clock. If you chose to use more of the sunlight hours, that because of your scheduling, not the sun's availability.

Most annoying antiquated practice with no redeeming purpose .. ridiculous!
FaithfulReader
Everyone I know hates it. Why is the subject never discussed by politicans?
Player #3745739
I thought daylight savings was all about the farmers needing more time in the sun

DST is unnecessary in this era

Greeny Froggy, I am sure it does... Same in hospitals... especially related to administering medications! CRAZY 💊

U.S. government has a bill under consideration to make daylight saving time permanent. No leaping forward and falling back. I guess that means daylight saving time will then be Standard time. Strange huh.
The state of Arizona does not go on daylight saving time. Some of the Native Amercan nations in Arizona do observe daylight savings time.
There are a couple of other states that don't change times also. but I don't remember which ones they are.

Correction on some comments.
1. The explanation of the creation of time zones has nothing to do with daylight saving time.
2. Daylight saving time was begun during World War II.
3. Daylight saving time is a misnomer. You are not saving Daylight. It was brought about so people could do their daily routine during sunlight. The government wanted it dark at night so the Germans could not see where the cities were if they flew over to bomb our country like they did in Europe.
4. Daylight savings time has no use today and needs to be ended.

Montana Lady, how does it waste power?
Evy
nimblemoon, wouldn't that be lovely to vote that out because studies have been done that shows daylight saving time is very bad for people's Mental health as well as their health I know from one that the first week or so of it I wake up every couple hours no rest
I wish we could vote for other things too like get rid of some of these old old politicians not a regular one now but you know what I mean show me

I thought we were going to do away with it 2023!

Daylight savings is a nuisance and needs to be gotten rid of or let us vote ot out. It has no place today and actually causes more morning accidents.

GSD Momma, needs to stay if you ask me.

Montana Lady, personally I'm all for keeping it. if my state does away with it I'll move to another state that has it. I live daylight savings time and don't see it as a waste of power one bit.
Lady Wolf Moon
Here’s hoping this ends soon.

The daylight saving changes time by one hour. I always wondered why they can’t average it in 30 minutes and keep it as standard time throughout the year.

Hawaii doesn't use DST! 👍🌺😎
