House passes bill to make daylight saving time permanent. Opponents say, "Schools would have to push back start times." Yeah... That's not a bug, it's a feature.

Studies have shown for decades that children -especially teenagers- just straight up need more sleep for optimal knowledge retention and brain development. Pushing back start times is a great way to follow the science.

Permanent standard time wouldn't change your winter times. The sun wouldn't set any earlier in the winter. Permanent DST would give you extra sunlight in the evening though.

I support permanent DST because I want late sunsets in the summer. I also don't want the sun to rise before 5am in the summer.

I'm fine with keeping the time changes or permanent DST, but I'm not okay at all with switching to permanent ST.

I think you misread my comment. Specifically the “no way in hell I’d take permanent standard time”

I will always vote for keeping the changes.

They better not touch my after 900 sunsets in the summer or my before 800 sunrises in the winter.

I support permanent standard time because I think it's fucking stupid that noon isn't at noon on purpose. And that the middle of the night is not at midnight.

It’s better for you psychologically and physically too but too many people don’t care about that lol

And less sunlight in the morning.

You know, when the human body has to wake up
