    Permanent Standard Time people are weird. I do not give a shit if its dark when I’m going to work, but seeing the sun going down at 3pm fucks with my mental health. Winter is miserable purely for that reason, I can deal with the cold, not that.

    To avoid confusion, all of the US will be on DTT (Donald Trump Time), which will vary based on where he currently is.

    I mean, I have no great love for DST, but I have no faith that they can do anything but completely fuck it up somehow. Whatever results will be at best, no measurable improvement, but at least a monumental pain in the ass for those who have to do the work to keep shit on schedule during the morass.

      If they’re using the 2022 bill they’re already fucking it up. Kids are going to be walking to school in the dark in winter and get hit by cars because they want to pretend that we’re a few thousand miles east of where we actually are.

    Seeing a lot of talk on here about keeping Standard or DST.

    Oh my God for the love of all that’s holy just let them pick one!

    I don’t care if the sun comes up at 2:00am or 2:00pm or even if the sun fuckin’ sets at 12:00 noon. Just pick a time and stick with it. Holy shitsnax.

    Gonna piss off the farmers, until they get their subsidiary check for growing corn (for high fructose corn syrup) instead of feeding the population.

      Everything will piss off the farmers.

      Removing daylight saving is actually something they want, because it fucks with their routine, but sure, they’ll be pissed off about removing it too.

      This has been in talks for years already. This is not a Trump thing The Senate passed the act that would have removed it unanimously in 2022

    We need to keep daylight savings and eliminate standard time. We’re on standard time right now. I hate it getting dark at 5pm.

    Will y’all shut the fuck up and act like you don’t want this? You’re going to ruin it.

    We absolutely need to start protesting this so he makes it a priority.

      Dang, I sure do love that Obama created daylight savings time. I hope it never goes away. Thanks Obama!

      This is literally how to shape his entire presidency and keep him from completely destroying the country. This move right here, every time.

      Let’s make a list of things and how to complain and stick to the script.

      I’ll go first. Man, I love tariffs!

        The only way that Democrats will eventually come out on top here is massive tariffs. We have to get the word out and thank Donald Trump for his concept of a plan on tariffs.
