In the past six years, 19 states have made efforts to move to year-round daylight saving time. So what’s in the way?

I don’t care what the offset is. it’s just fucking numbers. if I’m getting up at something called four versus something called six it doesn’t make a difference to me. I just don’t want the numbers to CHANGE twice a year
I’m with you. Either that or make the day it changes a universal holiday. One or the other.
there is absolutely no reason to change the offset
All I really care about personally in the “spring” ahead. It’s difficult for me to go to work with an hour less sleep. I have obligations that make it hard for me to go to bed earlier than I do.
Hear me out. We keep the fall back but remove spring forward. Yes, things will get really odd in like four years but think of the beauty of it.
I like it. It’s both subversive and predictable.
We should spring ahead at 2 PM on Friday. Everyone gets to go home an hour early from work and we have the whole weekend to adjust.
That would be great for salaried employees but hourly people would either lose an hour or just have to work an hour of mandatory overtime without time and a half pay.
Many people might not know. If your state wants to stop changing their clocks, they can do it right now. The problem is that a lot of vocal people want permanent DST which (literally) takes an act of congress.
I think SDT is the right way to go, but mainly I want the clocks to stop changing. If you want the time changes to stop, talk to your state legislators. Once the clocks stop changing, then we can convince our employers to allow shifting work hours.
