Time to spring ahead, DST begins March 9th.
Not for all of us.
I wish they would do away with this already.
They need to KEEP Daylight Savings Time and stop pushing the clock back in November!
I vote for time adjustments based on solar noon.
Don’t see any sense in it.
DST helps for those of us that work outdoors, otherwise we’d likely start an hour later, and get home an hour later.
DST just changes the label on what time you have available to work in daylight. The time that it is light outside is exactly the same.
If we shifted the days of the week by 1 so Monday is suddenly called Tuesday, Tuesday is suddenly called Wednesday, etc. and the standard work week remained Mon-Fri we would all be working the same amount, but 1 day earlier because the old Sunday is now Monday. It would be a 1 day weekend when we switched.
Six months later we would revert the days of the week back to normal. That would make a 3 day weekend so yay! Anybody happy about an extra day on that weekend would have conveniently forgotten the day they lost 6 months earlier.
None of it creates any time.
Exactly!! the amount of daylight is the same.
I really don’t get why so many people are so twisted up about this. Does changing your clock one hour really become a life or death situation???
Hold on there!! We’ve been told, forever, we “gain” or “lose” an hour with the shift every year. Were they lying to us???
