    If I remember correctly, the issue last time is that they wanted us on permanent Daylight Savings Time, instead of Standard Time. So I expect Trump to force the U.S. onto permanent DST, just because all science says it would be worse for us than going to Standard.

      Science says it’s better to have day light in the morning and dark at night

      But people aren’t waking up at 5am and going to bed at 5pm so it really doesn’t enforce standard time

        Standard time is better for health, someone made a better argument for it in some other thread

          Ah an argument, well I guess it’s settled then and it won’t ever be worse than the other way around

            Right, you’re free to look it up further but it messes with the internal clock or something. For my latitude, DST sucks

      I hate Trump as much as the next guy, but I want permanent DST. I want it to be light when I get home so I can spend some time outside without a flashlight. I don’t care if it’s dark in the morning, I’m working. Don’t tell me to just work different hours, I already work 6am-3pm, which is the earliest I’m allowed at my current job, and a lot earlier than allowed by many jobs. I still only get about an hour before dark where I live.
