Senate Unanimously Passes Daylight Savings Bill

That's interesting.  I guess I've never heard Arizonians or Hawaiians complain that they don't observe the time change.  They are both on permanent daylight savings times right?  Only people switching the time complain. 

Where are the "some areas", it wasn't mentioned in the article. 

Same with me.  Everyone I know in real life loves dst and no one has ever complained about the time change twice a year or changing clocks.  We only have 5 clocks to change in our house, so it takes just about 10 min.

I don’t think the complaint is about physically changing the clocks. The complaint is about how much it messes up my sleep and internal clock.

I hate it. I am messed up and exhausted for weeks and so are my kids.

I'd rather be on winter time all the time. If we stayed on DST then in the winter it wouldn't start getting bright until after 10am, that's sad. But most people don't live this far north. Summer doesn't matter, it's hardly dark.

It didn't pass in CA.  It died in the legislature.  The problem was that it said CA would stay on DST forever and not Standard time forever. I was reading about it on Sunday actually. 

I don't care what the hell we go with but quit messing with the clocks!

Yup. I was in high school. Below is about how people felt about permanent DST after trying it.

“ In a Roper poll conducted in February and March, just 30 percent remained in favor of year-round daylight saving time, while a majority favored switching times again. Louis Harris polling in March showed just 19 percent of people said it had been a good idea, while about twice as many — 43 percent — said it was a bad one.
A big reason for the about-face? Whatever benefits might have been gleaned by giving people more sunlight in the evening during the winter, it also meant longer, darker mornings. Parents were suddenly sending their kids to school in the cold and the dark for months on end. As the Capital Weather Gang noted, such a change means the sun wouldn’t rise before 8 a.m. in Washington for more than two and a half months, between late November and mid-February. The morning darkness would linger even longer farther north.
Polling later that year — after the dark mornings had waned — was more mixed, with an Opinion Research poll in September showing 31 percent of people strongly favored the idea and 42 percent strongly opposed it. But even that wasn’t good. And the idea was abandoned shortly before the next round of morning darkness would descend in the winter of 1974-1975.”

For some reason, this amused me..."Better behavior through sleep deprivation" isn't a strategy I'd have considered. 

I feel like we have a lot more motivation to get with the program when we travel 🤣

But I also think that when we travel, we are so tired anyway that it doesn’t register. We are a very up at the crack of dawn, go, go, go all day, it doesn’t matter, we can sleep when we get home kind of family on vacation. We aren’t like that at home.

They said that here, it would mean about 2 months where the sun rose at 8:30 or later (if we stick with DST year round). Our elementary schools start at 7:40 and middle schools start at 8:20 - so not ony would they be waiting for the bus in the dark, elementary and middle school students would start school in the dark - with elementary in school for 50 minutes before sunrise! And the kids in the specialty schools in the district currently get picked up at times like 6 a.m. as it is - not sure exactly when they begin - but seems like they'd have it even worse.

I'd greatly prefer a vote to keep it standard time all year. But I do agree, I think I'd favor any option that eliminates the change back and forth.
