  1. you pick the one where the sun is at high noon at noon

  2. How about healthcare for ALL?

  3. Friday morning I enjoyed not having to drive to work in the dark. Sunrise was at 6:17 AM. Now I have to wait 5 weeks until sunrise is at 6:17 AM again!

  4. Please abolish Daylight Saving Time.

  5. But you can’t change the earth’s time.

  6. Yea because when I look at my bills being scared of car jack and drive by in Chicago looking at clouds coming from Ohio I always think if congres could just fix day time savings my life would be perfect .
    Who gives f about this , do something that matters 😠😡🤬

  7. They're wrong. Abolish daylight saving time. Natural is always best.

  8. Just do it or drop it and then move on. It is a waste of bandwidth and our national energy/focus/resource/etc. to keep talking about it for years.

  9. Historically no one wanted DLS and still don't. DLS only supports capitalists at the expense of human health. Humans otherwise worked best without DLS for millennia

  10. They TALK About this twice every year, but nothing ever gets done. The time changes are too disruptive.

  11. There are far more important things for congress to do. Just make a decision and move forward.

  12. How would the studies we want the longer days

  13. My body feels much better on standard time. I detest daylight saving time.

  14. Get rid of this clock forward backward crap man!

  15. nothing that actually benefits the people will ever be passed by the whores of babylon!

  16. 12:30AM then change to 1:00AM and live it there forever.

  17. If I have the power, for example 1:00AM then switch to 12:30AM, then live it there forever.

  18. Here we go agian. This will never pass congress for like the 100 time

  19. Well this didn't pass. What a joke.

  20. Changing the clocks doesn’t create more daylight but it does change the time of sunrise and sunset
    That’s not how it works
    When the clocks set forward 1 hour on 12 March
    In Calgary
    On 12 March 2023
    Sunrise at 6:56am change to 7:56am
    Sunset at 6:35pm change to 7:35pm
    So sunrise and sunset will be 1 hour later on Sunday 12 March
    You just have to remember that the clocks were changed
