—Solar time honestly measures the sun.
—Standard Time approximates solar time across a zone.
—Daylight Time sets clocks an hour fast, to make us set alarms an hour early every morning!
ALT Title reads “Standard Time is closer to nature”. Three clocks are shown, one for Little Rock mean solar time (set to 12:00), one for Central Standard Time (set to 12:09) one for Central Daylight Time (set to 1:09). Subtitle reads “Alignment to solar time naturally benefits health, safety, education, economy.”

Yes, I despise #DaylightSavingTime
Reason 12,035:
#Cleveland is on the western edge of the Eastern Time Zone. During summer, the sun doesn’t set until at least 830pm, sometimes after 9pm..a significant portion of the game could occur before sunset.

Most people today are confused about what a clock is actually measuring because we treat time like a social preference rather than a physical fact. This has created a divide between two ways of living. For the city mouse, the clock is just a grid measuring the minutes to the next appointment or commitment. For the country mouse, the clock is a scientific tool measuring when the sun is at its peak.
The push for permanent Standard Time is about restoring the clock as a truthful instrument. Shifting the time twice a year is just a social hack that treats the clock like a flexible schedule instead of a fixed ruler. If we want to change the schedule, we should change bankers' hours or open Macys and the stock market an hour earlier, but we should not redefine what noon means.
Using Daylight Saving Time to trick ourselves into waking up is as illogical as starting a ruler at two point five instead of zero. It does not change the length of the object, it just makes the scale confusing. It is like moving January back thirty days to shorten the winter because the frost remains regardless of the label. By locking the clock at its natural baseline, we stop prioritizing administrative convenience over environmental reality and finally let the tool tell the truth again.

#Trump #DaylightSavingTime
One more broken promise.
pDST was last attempted in 1974.
It failed.
Miserably.
Morning darkness is detrimental to physical and mental health. Prolonged light at the end of the day harms #sleep.

Trump promised to eliminate DST, not to extend it permanently into winter! Stop the so-called Sunshine Protection Act!

Perhaps #Trump confuses clock changes with #DaylightSavingTime, & doesn't understand (or ignores) #SpringForward is #DST, and the #FallBack is #StandardTime.
Even if I didn't dislike #DST, the States-rights ursurping language of the #SunshineProtectionAct would irk me no end.

What I have noticed is pro permanent #StandardTime people marshal facts and figures, not feelings, to support the #EndDST argument.
OTOH pro #DaylightSavingTime people seem to use #TrustMeBro as their source.
A lot.

I’ve yet to see any study to back the golf industry’s claims that Daylight Saving Time increases golf revenue.

We need one final #FallBack to #StandardTime AND STAY THERE.
However, a government that thinks slapping a piece of ill-fitting cloth over your face would be an effective deterrent to upper respiratory infections won't listen to #sleep science.
#DaylightSavingTime is not #MAHA

“It’s hard enough getting up in the morning, but when it’s dark outside, it’s worse… In winter there isn’t much to do outside [after work] anyway…”
ALT Newspaper clipping from the “St Joseph News–Press” of Missouri, published July 17, 1974. Headline “Year-Round Daylight Time Fails to Find Favor”. Permanent DST delayed sunrise in St Joseph MO from 7:40am CST to 8:40am CDT.

How many polls do we need?
We tried pDST in 1974, it was repealed in 8 months. A final #FallBack to #StandardTime is the better way.
Dark winter mornings are dangerous.
Work 11p-7a if you want daylight after work-at least 8 hours of after work sun, guaranteed! Even in winter!
