In the fall/winter we are on standard time, not DST. I think that if this legislation passes it will be interesting to see what people think about the winter months when it doesn’t get light until 0830-0900. Nixon did this in the early 70s (year round DST) and people didn’t like it so they changed back to the split ST/DST system that we have today. Maybe today things will be different.You and I are talking about 2 different things. You are talking about “spring forward” setting clocks forward so the time on the clock is later when the sun goes down, but its now darker early in the morning.
I am talking about the “fall back” setting of the clocks back so the clock reads an earlier hour when the sun comes up. THAT helps farmers who needed to get up and milk cows or do chores before their daytime job.
