People living in sane states such as Arizona can disregard.

I'd prefer to stay on standard year round.

Don't see any real efforts to change things though.

I vote for Daylight Savings year round.

I prefer the daylight in the mornings when I do things. I'm usually home in the evenings.

 

[Jimbo]

I prefer it to be light later in the day.

To freaking hot to have sunlight at 930 pm in the summer.

I vote for Nevada to move to Mountain Time. I hate being in Vegas when it starts getting dark at 3:30 in the afternoon.

I thought 4:30 in the afternoon was bad ...

I use to dread working outside, getting dark, trying desperately to get done before dark ... I hated trying to work in the dark in peoples yards.

The continual requirement of a twice-per-year adjustment on virtually all clocks in the overwhelming majority of the US in the name of some sort of "daylight saving time" is, and always has been, an exercise in absolute idiocy. Time. Does. Not. Change. Pick a time/standard, finalize it, and be done with it. Sentient beings will adjust.

1. Perceived safety benefits.
2. Expectation of cost savings.

As I recall.

MOST People are happier when they look outside at 6 oclock and can still see across the street. or 8 pm or 9 even.

Sunset here last night was at exactly 6 pm. Without DST it would have been 5 pm.

Most people are not afraid of the dark.

I hate driving in the dark because everyone thinks if they have a light on their vehicle it has to be on…

Most people are not afraid of the dark.

While others can't see in the dark or are virtually blinded by headlights when driving.

December 21st will deliver around 8-3/4 hours of daylight, which pretty much guarantees that I'd be commuting in the darkness at one end of the day or the other. For me, under PST, sunrise will be at 7:47 am and sunset will be at 4:30 pm, so I would be driving into the Sun in the morning, and it would be dark before going home. Under PST, the Sun would rise at 4:22 am on June 21st.

Oregon passed legislation to go to an unchanging schedule in 2019 and waits on Congress as well as the adjacent states (Washington and California) for a resolution as to whether we all adopt MST or PST year-round.
