Getting rid of Daylight Saving Time will make a very large portion of the population happier half of the days out of the year, particularly right now when it's dark before 5PM. And once we do it I think Canada will jump on board almost immediately. Good for you Don. I hope they let you do it. Let's see Congress block you on this one and watch their single-digit approval get cut in half.

Based upon 6ix's comments, it seemed this was one for Trump. But it seems 6ix might be confused. The story headlines the end of DST. The story details the same. It also mentons that the legislation from 2022 was doing the same. Not sure if that is accurate. I had thought the legislation was Libtards and RINOs making DST permanent. 6ix seemed to imply he thought the same about this proposal, but he is not really clear. Making DST permanent would be dumb. Ending DST might be OK. This coming Saturday Winter starts. And the daylight will last about 9 1/2 hours. Night would have the remaining 14 1/4 hours. So, yes, winter has about 5 hours less daylight than summer. This is not affected by how we set our clocks. Ending DST means we lose an hour of productivity in Spring, Summer, Fall. This increase in productivity was a prime reason DST was created to start with.

I made it very clear that nobody likes living in the middle of winter when it's dark out before 5PM. They were voting to put an end to that. Period. You get hung up on the dumbest shit. You didn't even need to make this post because you know exactly where I'm coming from. You are not illiterate. Grow the fuck up.
