Regarding the time change

The working people lose all their after-work daylight for another four months. The only intelligent thing I've seen out of the CA. legislature in the past 75 years is the recent proposal to stay on daylight savings time year-round. Florida is trying to do the same thing, and due to our latitude in Texas, that would be a very intelligent choice......or reverse it. DST in the winter and roll it back in the spring, no sense in trying to sleep with the sun still up at 9:30 PM in July.

My father told me that was implemented to enhance war production, but not long after they did everyone was working three shifts a day anyway.

Edit to add: I agree with KHornet, pick one and leave it alone!

Ian,

As a native Californian and still a current resident, my view is that initiative is based solely on Sacramento's over-the-top dislike for anything having to do with the Trump administration.

I'm perfectly fine with staying on DST.

when I was in Utah the switch come right in the middle of the deer hunt, I went from having just enough time to get from work out to the field and hunt for almost an hour, to getting off work right at dark.

I would like a good reason for the time change.
For quite a few years is was about the kids going to school.
I feel as others do, a total waste of daylight.

I myself don't pay a lot of attention to a clock, usually up an hour or more before sunrise.

I was told DST was for Farmers wanting more daylight in the evening hours.:headscratch:

Also, I think I am the odd man out here, I like the Switch to DST, as well as the switch back.
OK, go ahead throw your tomatoes at me.
