Daylight saving time - keep or toss

[oscash]

I've never been in favour of daylight savings. Dump it - I say.

About the only "positive" that I see to changing the time is it reminds me to check the batteries in our smoke detectors/alarms, twice a year.

I’ve gradually expanded that to include the replacement of all batteries twice a year.

Keep DST,

I love that it is light later, hate the early darkness.

 

[Tommy]

Keep it. It's inconsequential to most people, but it gives old folks something else to gripe about.

I want to dump changing times twice a year, but I'd keep Daylight Saving Time- our "summer" time, all year long.
It takes me a week to adjust to the time changes. It messes up sleep.

dumping the changing of the clocks wouldn't affect our "summer time". if you live directly on the equator, you have the same amount of daylight and night every day. if you live say about halfway between the equator and either pole, your days will increase/decrease as earth revolves around the sun.

there are some people who think we actually gain/lose hours/days/time... it just moves around naturally.
