    “The Sunshine Protection Act”, oh is this some bill against pollution or something. “This bill makes daylight savings permanent.”

    Oh fuck off, that’s too grandiose of a name for that. I mean I want that, but you aren’t protecting sunshine …

      I always thought it was weird, that the one argument for Day Light Savings is that we get more sun. Someone can correct me, if I am wrong. I’m pretty sure the amount of daylight isn’t magical dictated by clocks and time created by humans.

      Abolish day light savings time. Stick to standard time like the rest of the world does.

        So like, in January, the sun sets at say around 5:15pm. With DST active, it would set at 6:15pm.

        So there is more daylight after work or school gets out for most people.

        Either way, the time change seems like it’s not useful in today’s age, so we should pick one.

            That’s the exact same thing… we could say that you start work at 8 and finish at 16 half the year, and work 9-17 the other half. We’ve just decided that it’s more practical to say that you always work 8-16, and then shift the clock to keep in sync with when there is more light outside.
