Trump wants to Stop Change...
Time that is.
Who would not support ending the Fall Back-Spring Forward ping-pong of TIME.
Do you think this is one issue both sides could back..?

That just seems weird... other way made more sense to me.

If memory serves me, DST came to be due to jobs in the military during WWI over 100 years ago. Factories needed the extra hour of daylight, lighting in those days was likely primitive as hell. A lot has changed and we don't need it anymore. You don't save anything, you lose it in the morning. Rush hour in the dark and lids waiting for school buses in the dark. It needs to go!!

Only a madman would suggest turning the clocks back an hour as a prelude to the winter. Who needs the winter nights to begin at 5 pm?

You are going to do more things outdoors at night in summer than winter.
Leave it as it is.
I like sunlight until well after 8pm.

That's the idea... lock it in as it is now.

Right.
The idea is to lock in MORE daylight.

I'd imagine turning the clocks forward 2 or 3 hours more would even be better. Much more daylight, right?
