@switzerland2054 @katnahat7 @grok You keep resorting pro-DST being a lobbyist-only movement driven solely by profit. If you'd have simply acknowledged that there are some real tangible benefits to DST, I would shut up. I can agree to disagree which is better. We're literally only arguing about 1 hour.

@ro8ertsterling @katnahat7 @grok @grok I was told my comment about money being the DST driver is a conspiracy theory. how so?

End Daylight Saving Time. Americans want permanent STANDARD Time.

@92michael Northern state person here. I'll take late sunrises for 3 months of the year instead of light being wasted as early as 4:15 AM during the summer.

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…

@ajwodecki @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk DST is keeping 2/3rd of the time (summertime) the same. Not transitioning it to Standard Time in winter, yes, effectively means waking earlier relative to sunrise. The benefit is light in the afternoon when people are doing stuff.

@ro8ertsterling @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk DST EQUALS waking early

Permanent standard time! It is MAHA and MAGA if people are in sync with circadian rhythm!! @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk

@MrEncouragement @ajwodecki @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk Thank you

I love this answer for the brazen elitism of it. "The people don't know what they want, and I'm smarter than them." Are you? "Yeah, because this didn't work in 1974." In 1974, Daylight Savings time was imposed because of an energy crisis. People were angry at the government for the crisis, and they resented a stupid solution to it being imposed upon them. In that time, more than 50 years ago, most families had one wager earner and mothers were stay-at-home moms. Today we generally have two wage earners in the family, and the little or no daylight at the end of the day prevents families from being able to do things together in Standard Time. It is obviously more healthy for families to be able to be outside throwing a ball, riding a bike, mowing or raking the yard, taking walks, etc. and it's more mentally healthy for people to have a change to be exposed to sunlight after the workday in order to reduce or stave off conditions like seasonal affective disorder. The arrogance you display here is appalling.

We don’t need Big Government to control our time and give us jet lag year-round! End the non-sense! End all DST! @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk

@Austen I have a vivid memory of someone shouting "auslander" in German on the street and I thought the person was screaming at me. I quickly realized he was yelling at the black dude across the street.

Anyone who has traveled internationally knows that the most racist place in the world is not in the United States

@ajwodecki @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk It's a proven fact teens struggle with waking early. If you care so damn much about circadian rhythms, then you should be stomping your feet at 2nd and 3rd shifts. Also, there's nothing rhythmic about sunlight hours in northern latitudes.

@ro8ertsterling @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk You don’t understand how a body works. It’s called circadian rhythm. It’s nothing about “wanting more sunlight.”

@switzerland2054 @katnahat7 @grok The push is ultimately that people don't want to lose the extra hour during the summer and have more daylight in the afternoon during the winter. Stop with the conspiracy. Either way, keeping the time consistent is what is going to provide the most benefit to to health.

@ro8ertsterling @katnahat7 @grok good grief.. It was exactly my point! To show people "where" the push for DST was coming from. Money not health. I vote Standard.

@switzerland2054 @katnahat7 @grok Looks like you didn't. Answer clearly states pro DST is for commerce.

@ro8ertsterling @katnahat7 @grok Did you not read it? It proves DST is lobbied only for the revenue. They give zero fucks about public health

@mike_datlof Sunrise at 4:30 in the morning sucks worse.

No…sunrise at 8:30 in December/January is not a good idea

@switzerland2054 @katnahat7 @grok Not exactly the one sided answer you were trying to coerce @Grok into, eh?

@katnahat7 @Grok Please explain who lobbies hardiest for DST for more revenue despite the proven health benefits of Standard Time.

@ColinNienaber Clearly Kentucky didn't, so what makes you think the country does? And spare us the Israel BS. No one cares about your conspiracy theory.

We want Massie. Not JD. Not Rubio.

@jethrothekenite @Euphornicate At 4:30 AM?

@Euphornicate For almost everyone with a regular job, wakeup times are inflexible. You will either wake to light or darkness. And for your overall health, light in the morning is far more important than evening light.

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.

@ajwodecki @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk Also, kids don't walk to school during Wisconsin winters, unless they're in a highly urbanized area.

@ro8ertsterling @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk Right now with the DST we have, you have almost 3 extra months waking in the dark. With permanent DST it adds over 74 days where kids are in school when it is STILL DARK OUTSIDE! That’s idiotic and selfish.

@Michelle41cx @WallStreetApes You're missing the point. As a Trump supporter, I don't blame anyone for their disapproval of Trump. He has massive flaws in policy and character. That said, wishing his death in any form, is not okay. That is a sinister and dangerous flaw in your character.

@ro8ertsterling @WallStreetApes How about you seek help for falling for Trump’s con. There’s nothing more low IQ than still supporting Trump in 2026.

@ajwodecki @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk I'm in northern WI.

@ro8ertsterling @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk What latitude you live?

@AlastairGrayson @CRYPT0N1TE @ajwodecki @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk For a small period of time during the winter. As it is, we spend more time under DST than Standard Time.

@CRYPT0N1TE @ajwodecki @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk "Most people would rather have it be dark at 5am than at 5pm, so DST is better." Incorrect. Modern medicine and science understand that early morning light is far better for the human sleep cycle than light later in the day. So standard time is better. Objectively.

@Michelle41cx @WallStreetApes My goodness, I'm full of shit for calling you out for wanting the president dead? Seek help.

@ro8ertsterling @WallStreetApes It’s not the best sentence I’ve ever written but it true. Men have always bragged about how they would handle other men who hurt children, but now the world sees that you were all full shit.

@LindaMeadWrites @SaveStandard The summer clock is DST, so if you get up at 8 AM, you get up at 8 AM. Standard Time would set the clocks back an hour, so 8 AM becomes 7 AM. This, sunrise at 5:15 AM in the summer becomes 4:15 AM.

@ro8ertsterling @SaveStandard If you currently wake at 8 in the summer you'd have to get up at 7 for sun to be at the same point in the sky. My comment is correct. DST advocates want everyone to get up an hour earlier year round.

Permanent Daylight Saving Time when last tried: —“It is absolutely ridiculous to have DST at this time of year [in winter]…” —“Safety has become a great concern…” —“Students dislike getting up an hour earlier…”
