They tried permanent DST before. Didn’t work. The biggest/best in polling is Gallup and people are still smart enough to choose what’s best for their health, not what’s best for BigGolf, BigCandy. People are ignorant. If you ask them do you want more sunlight after work or before waking…that’s not reality.

@PfPopulist It would be the best thing he's done. We are on DST 65% of the year already

You are being duped! By stupid people! Instead of eliminating Day Light Savings Time they are making it permanent. Trust me you will not like it!!! If you live in a northern state? Winters are going to suck even harder. You will get an extra hour of darkness in the mornings. What they should do is make Standard Time permanent and trash Day Light Savings time once and for all. “Trump Indicates He'll Sign Bill Making Daylight Saving Time Permanent” zerohedge.com/political/trum…

No, we get the same amount of light, before and after solar noon, regardless of clock setting and regardless of work schedules. You’re advocating for government force to mandate *permanent* clock settings away from solar noon, to satisfy certain “special interests.” #DitchDST

@AmyPeikoff Yes it does, if society dictates that we work on a 9am-5pm schedule

Make clocks more honest again with permanent Standard Time! Oppose permanent Daylight Saving Time (so-called “Sunshine Protection”)!

@Fla_Mom Nineteen states have passed legislation or resolutions to permanently observe Daylight Saving Time (DST) year-round. However, because federal law does not currently permit permanent DST, these state-level votes are contingent on Congress amending the Uniform Time Act.

I’m just sharing my opinion based off lots of reading I’ve done about past attempts at this very same thing. It’s just my take - I don’t have any role on the federal level on whether this lives or fails. I too used to love the permanent DST idea. Then I learned more and realized it was already tried and failed. I’m sure this change will happen and we’ll all get to relive 1974 together.

Going to Permanent Daylight Saving Time would be unwise. It was tried in the 70s already. Pointless to do again. Railroad companies brought America its current four mainland time zones in the 1880s as a way to standardize arrival times for trains. In 1918, the Standard Time Act fully enshrined that system into law. And, in 1966, Congress passed the Uniform Time Act. Arizona opted out of the UTA in 1968 because, uh, NO ONE HERE WANTED THE SUN UP IN JUNE AT 8:42pm! Without my Legislative ancestors opting out of Saving Time way back when, we’d still have the sun up at 8pm in late June in Phoenix and it wouldn’t be entirely dark here until 9:13pm. I love not changing my clocks ever. One of the many amazing things about why I love it here. All that said - ditch Saving Time completely and #StandardizeStandard @SaveStandard

Stop changing clocks = GOOD. Permanent Daylight Saving time = BAD. It was tried in 1974 as an experiment and was so unpopular Congress cancelled the experiment before it was over. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Permanent Standard Time (my HB119) is the healthier, more geographically appropriate choice. And it's already federally approved. @SaveStandard @SupportStandard

🚨 US House Energy/Commerce Committee today amended the Sunshine Protection Act into the Motor Vehicle Modernization Act. If approved by Congress, it would mandate permanent Daylight Saving Time in all states that don’t self-exempt in advance, with no option for exemption after taking effect. 🧐 Permanent DST is a mandate to start work/school an hour earlier than Standard Time in unnatural darkness all winter. It would put sunrise in most states past 8am for 3+ months, and past 8:45am for 1+ weeks. It chronically deprives sleep, decreases productivity (by 5%), and increases illnesses and accidents (by 20%). It was last implemented in the US in 1974 and repealed the same year following deaths and disruptions to commerce. 👉 Tell your US House reps asap to amend MVMA (H.R.7389) to remove SPA (H.R.139) or to reword for nationwide restoration of permanent Standard Time with a clearer option for the minority of states to choose unhealthy/unsafe permanent DST by advancement of their own time zones if so strongly desired (though why DST proponents don’t simply start their own days an hour early remains boggling).
