Daylight Savings Time???

I agree that daylight saving time was nothing but feel good liberal nonsense and should be tossed into the dust bin of history for that reason.

Arizona doesn't go on daylight savings time. We do just fine without it.
Funny Az and Hawaii both outlawed this junk. Besides being dumb it was probably due to an over abundance of sunshine. Back in the day if you flew Phoenix to Ontario you’d land 15 min before you took off. TSA ruined that time machine...
 
Based on some of the replies to this question, I think a couple people may have mixed up notions of what it is:

Daylight saving time (DST), also daylight savings time (United States), also summer time (United Kingdom and others), is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months so that evening daylight lasts longer, while sacrificing normal sunrise times. Typically, regions that use daylight saving time adjust clocks forward one hour close to the start of spring and adjust them backward in the autumn to standard time.[1] In effect, DST causes a lost hour of sleep in the spring and an extra hour of sleep in the fall

Here in the U.S., daylight savings time is what we experience most of the year currently. Standard time is during the shorter fall and deepest winter seasons.
 
We do . The current twp doesn't allow work to start before 7. Which will now kill us on outside work. Many guys would rather stay late than start early.
I'm not a morning person, but if I have to work long hours I'll get up early to do it so that I can see the family in the evening. I'm for getting rid of the change, but let's make so that the evenings are longer in the summer time.

That's okay for places that have around 12 to14 hours daylight, but some of us have upwards of 18 hours. I don't like trying to go to sleep with the sun still shining in my window.
 
Put it back to whatever it was before Ben Franklin suggested we do this and screwed it all up!
 
If the time change was abolished, I would want DST to be permanently in effect. I don't mind driving to work every morning in the dark in the winter months. The only times I get to work on things at home are evenings and weekends, and I hate working outside in the dark with flashlights.
