Enjoy springing forward. I'm not doing it.

I basically do not do it. I show up at work at 7:30 AM during standard time and 8:30 AM during DST.

Where we are on this, is that Congress has to pass a law making daylight savings time permanent, or doing away with it altogether.

Or, your state can opt out of daylight savings time.

A state cannot adopt permanent daylight savings time

Executive order won't cut it because there is a statute on the books

Daylight saving time hasn't achieved its primary public policy goalenergy conservationand may actually undermine it, imposing significant environmental, health, safety, family, and economic harms along the way. Despite these facts, lobbying by powerful industry groups and a handful of late-sleeping lollygaggers not only has protected this failed government program, which annually steals an hour of our lives and months later returns it interest-free, but has actually expanded itthereby thrusting tens of millions of American workers and families into abject darkness for even longer.

Cynics might say that change here is impossible, that the forces of Big Business and American political dysfunction are too strong to overcome, but such pessimism ignores history both here and abroad. Countries around the world, for example, have ditched the practice in recent years, and Europe could be next: In 2018, the European Parliament voted 384-153 to review "whether Daylight Saving Time is actually worth it," due to "growing dissatisfaction" with the system. Here at home, Americans have beaten back the DST menace not once, but twiceabandoning it after WWI ("it proved unpopular") and again in the 1970s, after those unfortunate bus stop accidents.

Let's hope that it doesn't take even more needless harm to our children before we act again.

One of the more amusing Texags recurring threads Most people think that switching to year long EST (Eastern standard time ) is an option

Pretty sure that is not an option
Mynunderstandjng it's either opt out of DST like Arizona or continue to change the clocks twice a year

Choice 1) Daylights savings year round

Choice 2) Clocks move twice a year and keep it as is.
























Choice 3) Standard time year round.

Here is Trump's opportunity! He needs to fulfill his promise to terminate the changing of daylight savings time.

Next week we spring forward and start daylight savings time. Trump needs to sign an EO afterward to keep us on it.

The OP if I am understanding it is advocating for springing forward and never falling back
Also known as Eastern Standard Time

Sorry for the confusion the net affect for Texas except El Paso that would be to be permanent EST
For Vegas you'd be in permanent mountain standard Time

So you want an executive order to overturn a federal law? If that is the case, is there any law he can't overturn with an EO?

EOs are so out of control now it really doesn't matter how he gets it done. Just make it happen.

What Happened the Last Time the U.S. Tried to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent?

Quote:

---

For ten months in the mid-1970s, America's clocks sprang forward and never fell back.

Year-round daylight saving time (DST), signed into law by President Richard Nixon in January 1974, sought to maximize evening sunlight and, in doing so, help mitigate an ongoing national gas crisis. But while the experiment initially proved popular, with 79 percent of Americans expressing support for the change in December 1973, approval quickly plummeted, dropping to 42 percent by February 1974

Hmmm, you raise a good point. I shouldn't assume the sun rises and sets in the 2020s the same as it did in the 1970s

Daylight savings time is more important in the north versus the south, because their days are longer in summer and shorter in winter than ours are in Texas. I'd split the US into 8 zones versus 4 and have DST in the north but not the south.

So given that there are already several states that do DST year round , why is this even a federal thing? Let the states do as they wish. I say this as a fan of DST year round but if you already can and there is a groundswell of support then do it at the state level.

Yeah, that sounds like such a great idea. Would really simplify things.
