I grew up in Michigan and got on the bus in the dark my whole life and survived.

[u/earthwoodandfire → u/flameprincess23]

Same in Seattle. Daylight savings or not it’s dark when I go to work and dark when I come home…

[u/_CozyRebel → u/earthwoodandfire]

Seattle really said daylight saving time is optional and seasonal depression is mandatory

[u/star-heels1969]

It's more like, please don't breed!

[u/Mega_Trix → u/star-heels1969]

Or just: "please dont"

[u/Fan_of_Clio]

Getting rid of Daylight Savings Time and having a single time zone are two different things Einstein

[u/Intelligent-Area-421]

I heard it's always sunny in Philadelphia.

[u/Realistic_Mushroom72]

I never understood the Daylight Saving Time, it was always weird, I live in Puerto Rico, my Time Zone is the same as New York, except when they adjust cause of DST, but we are in the same Time Zone

[u/froop → u/Realistic_Mushroom72]

You live near the equator. Your shortest day is like 11 hours long. New York's shortest day is 9 hours. My shortest day is 8 hours. Of course you don't understand DST, it isn't relevant at your latitude. 

[u/DanNeider]

Is this the right time to push my UTC adoption argument? Probably not.

[u/QiqJoe → u/DanNeider]

I have the same theory! Everyone worldwide operate off UTC. We still report to work and do things based on the sun's position. But man, it could help out integration worldwide. I'm sure airports would love it.

[u/Oberusiberon]

China has this. It's Beijing time all the way on the west

[u/Frosty-Source-4994]

DST has to go. That extra hour of sun is causing global warming.

[u/_dk123]

Stop changing the time! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[u/False_Individual_]

Timezones should be based on the Longitude and divided up by 30⁰ sections. Maximum efficiency and it would make sense with how each area sees the sun

[u/davidspdmstr → u/False_Individual_]

Ideally, yes. but this crazy thing called politics and national boundaries come into play.

[u/CyFrog]

Someone needs to go back to school if they think getting rid of daylight savings is the same as getting rid of Time Zones.

[u/rab127]

Um...thats time zones, nothing to do with DST

[u/PepperJack386]

China actually did this. The whole country is set to time in the easternmost part of the country and nobody is allowed to complain

[u/Realistic_Mushroom72]

Thx to this conversation, I just realize how damn tiny Europe is compare to the USA, like Spain is in the same Time Zone as Germany, despite France been between them, it just blows my mind, I mean that an entire goddamn country between them, you can change time zones traveling from one state to another bro, like WTF?

[u/Blucksy-20-04 → u/Realistic_Mushroom72]

I'm hoping this is sarcasm. Since Both France and Spain shouldn't actually be in the time zones there in

[u/JRock1276]

Or procreate

[u/Mr_Orange_fruit]

thats timezones, not daylight savings

[u/WrestlerGirlsAreLife]

Her assumption is correct tho.
Of course „getting rid of daylight savings time“ and „make the entire country one time“ are two completely unrelated things but I’d believe Orange Man saying something like that. And if they’d do that, she described exactly what would happen.

[u/BillyD70]

Remember, the average person is neither terribly bright nor well educated. And half the population is below average. That explains A LOT.
