Just stay in daylight saving time, don't go back.
- soperj 9y agoGo another hour further even.
- eliben 9y agoThe issue with this is the late sunrise in the winter. In mid-Jan in LA the sun rises at ~7AM. It would rise at 8AM with daylight savings in winter. This sucks terribly since it moves your whole commute into dark; kids walk to school in the dark, etc. It's pretty depressing to start the day in the dark, to be honest (with apologies to folks living in very northern or southern latitudes)
- ant512 9y agoThat's called out at the end of the article: "But before the end of the first month of daylight saving that January, eight children died in traffic accidents in Florida, and a spokesperson for Florida’s education department attributed six of those deaths directly to children going to school in darkness."
- nradov 9y agoI see nothing depressing about starting in the dark.
- makosdv 9y agoThere is a bill proposed here in Florida to do just that. We're already in DST 8 months out of the year anyway.
- labster 9y agoI live a few miles from the 120th meridian in PST, and I enjoy astronomy. So let's just avoid DST completely, please. Don't know why anyone wants to live in DST all year, which is effectively just pretending you live 15 degrees to the east of where you are. On the other hand, leap seconds can die in a fire. Let's only correct that once a century, because no one outside of astronomy cares about that level of astronomical accuracy.
