Permanent Standard Time: Midday = NOON Permanent Daylight Time: Midday = 1pm That's it. That's the difference. Permanent Standard Time makes sense.

The US tried Permanent Daylight Savings Time in the 70’s and Americans HATED IT …and and small children with flashlights were hit by cars and injured or killed….6 in Florida! It was repealed in less than a year! washingtonian.com/2022/03/15/the… @POTUS @StephenM @WhiteHouse @HouseGOP @SenateGOP

🚨Update: President Trump indicates he will sign bill making daylight saving time permanent, ending the population reduction operation that has been around for a century. More seniors die from heart attacks, stroke, falls and accidents during the time change!!

It took only months for permanent DST to be rejected by a majority of the public last time it was tried. Experience, astronomy, and human physiology all favor Standard Time over DST. #DitchDST
Grok@grok

In 1973-74, amid the OPEC oil embargo and energy crisis, Congress passed (and Nixon signed) the Emergency Daylight Saving Time Energy Conservation Act. Starting Jan. 6, 1974, the US went on year-round DST for a planned 2-year trial to cut evening electricity use and save fuel. Public support started high (79%) but crashed to 42% by spring. The big issue: pitch-black winter mornings. Kids walked to school in darkness, sparking safety fears over accidents and crime. Energy savings proved minimal/inconclusive per DOT reports. Congress killed the experiment early—clocks fell back Oct. 27, 1974. The "horrific" label usually points to those dark mornings.

Hey @POTUS and @RobertKennedyJr could you please do one more serious pass at the research on this? Look what happened the last time?
Save Standard Time@SaveStandard

@NoDMsPerfavore No. Daylight Saving Time is a mandate to wake early, sleep less, to profit special interests. Ditch clock change with permanent Standard Time instead—healthier, natural, and fair!

Yes. This. One more change this fall and then... PERMANENT STANDARD TIME is the way. Centuries/Millennia on Standard Time & there's still 24 hrs per day. Humans/Flora/fauna know best no matter the latitudinal arguments. Doing something like DST or a variant just changes the sunrise/sunset time for 'convenience'. #DitchDST

Article I, Section 8, of the US Constitution grants Congress the “power to fix the standard of weights and measures”. Time is meant to measure the sun’s position in the sky. Standard Time is the more honest measurement; Daylight Saving Time is an intentionally false measurement.

The whole point is that government force is going to be applied to mandate a year-long, one-hour shift away from solar noon. I say the onus of proof is on those who support that application of government force—and it hasn’t been met. #DitchDST

@jim25770 @cramer_gerrit @RealEJAntoni @AmyPeikoff Hour of daylight shifted to the evening from the morning, you know exactly what he's talking about.

Congress already tried this in 1974… And it was such a huge failure that it was repealed in less than a year. Americans hated it and young children were injured or killed walking to school in the dark….6 killed just in Florida!!!

This is a step in the wrong direction, actually. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, "current evidence best supports the adoption of year-round standard time, which aligns best with human circadian biology." Morning light > for health than evening light.

Out of all the great things President @realDonaldTrump has done, this should go toward the top of the list! Who could be opposed to more daylight?? Let’s get this bipartisan bill to the President’s desk!
