I am all for it. Around here all the soccer mommies drive five houses down so madison or muffy don’t have to wait outside for the bus thst takes them 3/4 mile away. Nothing to do with darkness as its a flippin 9am bus!

If whole congress and the dementia patient sign off, why not just leave it as is in November?

Finally the Senate can agree on something.

My guess is just like Y2K some programming changes need to br made.

 

[pequa1]

Six months less the time for our fearless leaders to sign off wouldn’t b enough?

 

[WhatKnot]

Don’t know the time line but stuff definitely has to be done.

 

[pequa1]

Let the mommies carry candles with their darling high schoolers to the bus stop. I would have mortified if my mom accompanied me anywhere near the bus stop that I took in junior high. we are raising quite the crop of pussies.

Those of you who have love web-enabled devices and clocks that auto-adjust for ST/DT, including your cars, will need new software and/or firmware updates which will take a crap-load longer than 6 months to write, test and implement. Hell, my home alarm system still thinks it's New Year's Eve 2021, is stuck on ST, and the company doesn't have a clue when they'll have a fix. At least everything's good at the monitoring station...

And the bill won't be signed until sometime this summer if you figure on the way Washington works, so we're effectively looking at a 1 yr turnaround time, which is pretty aggressive...

 

[pequa1]

oh well. thinking about it, our Verizon phones and Altice cable boxes would need an update, my clock radio alarm clock as well, but my microwave and stove still have to be adjusted every 6 months as do the wristwatches I wear when fishing or hunting. ( I get around it by leaving one on DST, the other not, lol.) My old Ford Ranger is analog, the Subaru not. Being retired changes my outlook on many things but not on this- DST has to go, the sooner the better.

I’m pretty sure it still had to get passed by the house

 

[pequa1]

and then some guy with dementia has to sign it. but they probably won't bother explaining it to him.

Staying on Daylight Savings Time means that the entire first week in January the sun will rise about 8:20AM. All of December, January and the first week of February will see sunrise at 8:00AM or later.

That is fine for me. I start my commute in the dark for most of winter anyway. The problem has always been kids going to school in the dark. I don't have young kids, but if I did, I would be concerned about safety. They will be selling a lot of reflective clothes for kids who still actually walk to school or take their bikes. The other issue will be that the morning darkness will mess with a kids internal clock and of course, hurt their futures by not being awake for the first hour of classes.

Of course, this will be reported as a deliberate attempt to suppress the black and brown communities bla bla bla.

So there you go. Personally it will not effect me, but I will stand behind parents who object to it for the wellbeing of their children.

BTW, the edit is to note that this if for the New York City / Long Island latitude. The further north you go, Boston, Maine, the later the sunrise and the more darkness you will experience.
