Would Permanent Daylight Savings Time Really Improve Our Quality of Life?
Whether you’re pro-Daylight Savings or pro-Standard Time, the science is clear: Switching *between* the two every year is terrible for human health. So why haven’t we stuck with one system all year? The answer is both scientific AND political. Hosted by Annie Colbert Reported by Tom Hawking Edited by Avital Oehler Written and Produced by…

Let’s launch our garbage into the sun!
Ummm, no. Earth is messy. So can’t we just send our junk somewhere else? Aside from the moral quandaries raised by such poor stewardship of our already disheveled solar system, Earthlings probably haven’t made a habit of beaming literal garbage into space yet because we simply can’t afford to.

The Experiment That Tried to Weigh the Human Soul
It’s a little complicated to weigh a dying person on a hospital bed, but that didn’t deter Duncan MacDougall. In the early 20th century, MacDougall’s unique bed-scale detected that 21 grams left the human body at the moment of death. He had finally discovered it: the weigh of the human soul … or so he…

Permanent Daylight Savings Time _and_ offer free bright light therapy lamps to everyone who wants them.

While I would rather just normal time…(Michigan is already on the far west side of the Eastern Time Zone), Just not changing the clocks 2x a year would be best regardless if it is standard or savings time.

I prefer permanent DST, but I would settle for anything permanent. Just stop the changing.

Our lives are no longer dependent on daylight so daylight savings is asinine. Split the difference and call it good. Or just leave it one way or the other.

In my area, it’s because the federal government hasn’t made it legal.
Washington, Oregon, and California have all passed “permanent DST”, but current federal law forbids that. It only allows “permanent standard time”. (As Arizona has.) As soon as the federal government allows permanent DST, the US West Coast will then stay on DST.

The worst part about dst is living with an insomniac… So now they get up at 6:30 in the morning when its really only 5:30… “But the clock says 6:30…” Ugh.

We need permanent standard time. That’s why it’s standard time. Permanent DST is just switching to a perpetually incorrect time zone.

May I thought Permanent DST was a joke. Like flat earthers or anti vaxxers. Just stuff stupid people believe. I hate to break it to the politicians but pretending mid day is a different time doesn’t change reality and has zero benefit to humanity.

It would be great if society could agree to shift the start of school and work, but short of that let’s move to permanent DST already. When we do things is a social construct anyway, I don’t see why early birds (maybe 20% of the population including grade school kids), a significant portion of whom would trade that morning daylight for afternoon daylight anyway, should trump an hour of light in the afternoon when everyone can enjoy it and benefit from the better mood it creates. I’d like to see a more exhaustive review of the literature about the mood boost for the extra hour of light in the afternoon so we can make a more informed decision balancing that against making kids get up earlier

Permanent daylight saving… That seems totally useless. Wouldn’t it be less effort to just shift the time things happen instead of messing with the clocks?
Like people waking up at 7 instead of 8. Stores opening at 8 instead of 9, and so on.

DST is just absurd. All it does is force everyone to get up earlier and do everything an hour earlier… The day is not longer, there is no more daylight than is you were on standard time. Here is the best idea. You want to play more after work? Ask the boss to let you shift your work day by an hour.
And for us retired folks we wouldn’t have to change everything just to stay in sync with those that don’t seem to understand time.
