Your highway safety bill includes permanent daylight savings time which delays sunrise by one hour year round which prescribes 8am or 9 AM sunrises for the majority of Americans all winter. See graphic attached.
School children need sunlight exposure before classes so they can focus and learn properly. People driving to work need sunlight so they are awake and alert operating vehicles. This is human biology, You cannot beat it. You people are prescribing failure for 300 million Americans. Seriously. Permanent DST is unhealthy.
Nobody needs the sun out at 8:30 PM at night, people are in their houses getting ready for bed or eating. This must be amended to Permanent Standard Time. Every medical doctor agrees permanent standard time is healthier, all frontier AI models agree, anyone with a bachelors in science or mathematics can look at this problem and agree. Common sense agrees, you don’t want your kids getting hit at a bus stop because drivers are falling asleep in the dark at 8 AM.
Permanent daylight savings time is silly, we need permanent standard time for health and wellness. I guarantee you people will spend just as much money if not more because they are in a good mood, They are more productive at work, Our GDP is higher and they have more energy and they are motivated to participate in a country that looks out for their health. If our country is to compete in the new global landscape with AI and fast moving science and technology, we need to be as smart as we can be as awake as possible, and as focused as possible. Permanent standard time restores this vector of health and it’s a compounding trajectory that continually improves the nations health on the largest sample size.
If you want this nation to fail, implement permanent daylight savings time. It was tried in 1974 and reversed immediately.
We need Permanent STANDARD time.
