saving time

President-elect Donald Trump wants to turn the lights out on daylight saving time. [Snip] “The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation,” he wrote. [Snip] Some health groups, including the American Medical Association and American Academy of Sleep Medicine, have said that it’s time to do away with time switches and that sticking with standard time aligns better with the sun--and human biology.

Yes please.

I like Daylight Savings Time. It's less important now that I am retired and can operate on whatever timetable I want, but I loved it especially when I could get a lot done after work in the summers.

Daylight Savings Time needs to end. Businesses and other organizations may need to and can adjust their own hours to suit their customers and employees.

In the spring move forward thirty minutes (split the difference) and don't mess with DST anymore.

I would adjust to whatever the clock says within one year. Just make it always go through the same 24 hours, every ay of the year. If I want an extra hour in the afternoon I will stop working an hour earlier. (In fact, I always have work to do, no matter the time.)

I propose the entire world shift to GMT. So what if you go to bed at 8am instead of 10 pm. If it's dark outside, go to sleep. The nations of the world would adjust accordingly. Come on UN, do something worthwhile for a change.

This is great news. Standard time is the one that most closely aligns with nature and human circadian rhythm. If we kept Standard Time all year, the change into fall and winter would be more gradual and not so alarming with less daylight for those who have a hard time adjusting. Same with spring, as we wouldn’t suddenly be thrown into more daylight.

I like DST. It's a treat seeing the sky still light at 10pm. It's something to look forward to in the spring. My father would disagree. He used to be a farmer and would grumble about DST: "Well, no matter what the clock says, you still have to milk the cows the same time each day!"

This will come as a shock to idiot politicians - - and the arrogant bureaucracy. Those bozos actually believe that they can create additional daylight. Even the name is a lie - - Daylight SAVING Time. Hey, you jackasses - - you don't have the power to SAVE daylight. Only God does! All you can do is shift the clock around. It's Daylight SHIFTING Time - - not SAVING. We don't need the gummint to tell us what time it is. The whole thing is a useless farce.

I hope that is one of the first things he does. DST is not needed in NV. We have enough light and high temperatures without it. So does AZ, but they are smarter than NV because they just change from one zone to another without having to change the clocks twice a year. Please do this Pres. Trump.

All the cheerleaders for DST care about in "muh longer daylight." So it gets dark at 5:00 EST instead of 6:00 DST. What are you going to do with that "extra hour" in December? Permanent daylight saving time makes already late winter sunrises an hour later. The sun wouldn’t rise before 8 a.m. at my latitude for almost four months, The latest sunrise would happen at 8:43 am. The farther north you live the later it would rise. Stick with standard time.

#14, Not only animals, but children. It's hard enough to get them to bed without the sun still being out as your are attempting it. Now that the kids are all grown and I am at the other end of the scale, I find that my body takes longer and longer to adjust to the change to DST and I have more sleep problems during DST than during Standard Time. Don't know why; it just is.

America’s greatest presidents were sometimes treated like punching bags in office — insulted and vilified by opponents. President Biden has endured the same undeserved treatment. But I expect that, like other great presidents, history will judge him more accurately. Biden has been a historically transformative president. His landmark domestic accomplishments are comparable to Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal and Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society. A 2023 survey of 154 political scientists and other presidential experts ranked Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt and George Washington as America’s three greatest presidents, in that order.

The NYPD’s highest-paid employee — who shoveled in more than $400,000 last year — filed for retirement this week and then was suspended amid an internal affairs probe into her astronomical overtime, The Post has learned. Lt. Quathisha Epps will retire just shy of 20 years with the department, sources said — an early exit that will impact her pension and cost her a $12,000-a-year supplement for cops who reach the two-decade mark. Leaving money on the table is seemingly uncharacteristic for Epps, who raised eyebrows by pulling in roughly $204,000 in overtime last year for her administrative job in NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey’s office, payroll records show.

I won’t dwell on the umpteenth revelations that Biden had bad days, that he had trouble remembering lines or figuring out where he was supposed to go.

Hur, the special counsel who investigated Biden’s handling of classified documents, the president couldn’t recall lines that his team discussed with him. At events, aides often repeated instructions to him, such as where to enter or exit a stage, that would be obvious to the average person…

Do people on the radical left demonstrate a mental disorder? Most people on the right roll their eyes at the hysteria and fears of the left, but what’s to be done? Given that there were major shifts on the left in the 2024 election, is it possible that somehow sanity is breaking through? With the ongoing polarization that has burdened this country, it’s worthwhile to examine the psychological framework of leftists; both how they see themselves and how they see others. The results may also indicate whether the changes in voting behavior might continue, or whether they were situational. A phrase that’s been coined is “Left-Wing Authoritarianism” (LWA)
