Standard or DST doesn't matter to me and won't effect my life whatsoever. The only difference to me would be keeping it permanent would alleviate my having to change a bunch of clocks in the house. I empathize with others that might be affected by more or less light at a given time related to leaving or returning home from work or school.
If I had a vote on the matter, I would vote to keep one or the other permanent, period. Now, pardon me while I go out to the garage and get my ladder so that I can reach the kitchen wall clock to change it to reflect the DST change once again. For some reason, certain persons un-named can't simply read the microwave or stove clock and insist on having a larger, easier clock for ailing senior eyesight. On a positive note, I will change the battery too, so that I won't have to climb up there a third time during the year instead of just two times for the periodic time change. |

Nixon’s Daylight Savings Time Still Controversial After 44 Years A couple notes from the article: The most important analysis regarding the effectiveness of DST regarding energy use is a 2008 National Bureau of Economic Research study that found “contrary to the policy’s intent — DST increases residential electricity demand” by about 1 percent. Although DST reduced demand for lighting, demand for heating and cooling dramatically increased. Many health and safety experts also have a negative opinion of Daylight Savings Time. According to the “Fatal Accident Reporting System,” there is a 17 percent increase in traffic fatalities on the Monday after the shift and fatal motor vehicle accidents remained elevated for the first six days after the clocks spring ahead. A recent medical study indicates that DST time change may also increase the risk of stroke due to sleep disturbances. |

Personally I don’t care what time frame we use. My routine is the same everyday no matter what time we use. Don’t know why we care what we use except maybe the farmers like spring ahead time. Don’t get it!

I think the biggest complaintants are old people who don’t want to mess with clocks and don’t want to get up early and others who don’t deal well with any change. |

Myth: Daylight Saving Time was Created to Benefit Farmers The truth of the matter is the agriculture industry lobbied against daylight saving time in 1919. Some believe it was then that farmers became associated with daylight saving time, even though they were only involved because they were against it.Nov 5, 2021 |
