That is the reason they don't make DST permanent. Depression goes up, when the day gets shorter and darker earlier. Two years ago, the Senate passed a bill called the sunshine act I believe, it was to keep us on DST, Nancy Pelosi refused to bring the bill to the floor of the House. And it died there.
@@RockBrentwood so obviously we didn't know that they acted on anything and weren't able to ascertain for ourselves that it was a complete disaster. if that had been the case I wouldn't have made my comment. what complete disaster were we subjected to due to daylight savings time? how could it possibly have been implemented when nobody that I know even know anything happened, nor did the times stay the same when it was supposed to change. I think you're just making things up.
Yeah, and it's based on a total lie like all stupid things that were enacted. "Ben Franklin did it to save money on lamp oil." That is absolutely the stupidest thing I've ever heard. So ole Ben spent half the year with his clock an hour different than everybody else's until the rest of the country saw how great it is? All you have to do is adjust your bed-time.
I’ve hated having to change the clock back every year in the Fall and back forward again in The Spring since I was a little kid. I am in my mid fifties and still can’t stand it.
To be honest, I only hate the part where we have to change the clocks forward. Does anybody actually hate that free hour? In the end, it's all the same. Get rid of DST, give us Standard time forever.
They dont care about your health. Dont you remember the push for taking untested, experimental "medicine" a couple years ago??? Now people are harmed, dying, or dead from it.
The states don't need Washington to do away with Daylight savings time, Arizona already did it in recent years, and other states like Indiana and Hawaii have long refused to follow daylight savings time.
I believe it was only part of Indiana that didn't because they were in a different time zone, but now they change it twice a year. I have never like it because it messes me up so much for about a month or more.
Just one of their designed ways. Division is their number 1 thing. Political parties are a big one. Racism another. But they are all equally corrupt as each other. How do they make billions on the salaries they get paid?? How many of you have a few mansions here, and there?
When I used to work an hourly job, it used to kill me and seemed like I'd never get to go home. To me it felt like time was dragging and made me depressed to get off when sun had already set.
Hawaii doesn't change it either. I lived there for 5 years and I loved it....plenty of sunshine to spend at the beach or outside without changing the clocks.
This video title talks about the effort to grt rid of Daylight Savings Time. I've found that a lot of people don't even know which is Daylight Savings Time and which is Standard Time. They keep saying get rid of Daylight Savings Time, but most people actually want to get rid of Standard Time. Daylight Savings Time is the time from around March until around November. Standard Time starts around November until March. A lot of people I talk to just know they want the summer time, Time but don't know which one it is.
I agree. Simply put: If you want to mow your lawn in dark, get rid of daylight savings time. How getting rid of it makes a person healthier leaves me scratching my head. Maybe what they don't like is the natural change in hours of light that occurs from equinox to equinox, the longest day being around June 21st and the shortest day is around December 22. Please PPL! know what you are ranting about!
Any state has the right to eliminate dst and stay on standard. In order for states to choose savings year round a new law would have to be passed to allow that option. Permanent dst was signed in 73 but only lasted until 74 because so few wanted to remain on it so it was back to what we have now.

I wish we would stop doing day light savings time. This was done a long time ago and it was for the farmers so they could work longer and get darker later. Why are we still doing this?
Yeah, that's not how that works or why we did it. The sun doesn't come up or go down any sooner or later because we change the clocks. Farmers get up at sunrise and stop working at sunset. The only time that matters to farmers is daytime.
They’re absolutely right this daylight savings time is horrible because it does affect a lot of families and peoples mindset because it makes people depressed and I’m one of them and when it is getting dark at 4:30 in the afternoon your mood changes real fast! Wake up Congress, we need this!

The earth kinda wobbles when circling the sun and the sunrise time changes. You notice it when you work outside during season changes. I thought that was the reason for DLST. Once I read the real reason behind both times it was implemented, I realized it all boils down to corporate greed, and it's pointless.

Why does no one understand that pretending that it's 1pm when the sun is at 12 noon ( that's Daylight Savings Time, which we now do 8 months a year) is crazy? The time is what it is, and the idea of pretending otherwise instead of just scheduling things the way we want makes me despair for humanity.
It feels like we only care about this when the time has to change and nothing the rest of the year. People with difficult mornings and sleeping issues do not appreciate this.
I loved when we had DST year round in 1974. Since morning was a waste spent in school, it was wonderful to go to school in the dark and get home to a reasonable amount of daylight.
No, it sounds horrible. Most people spend all their late afternoons and evenings indoors anyway, but when forced to wake up early and forced to leave the house, I'm pretty sure the last thing someone who hates mornings would want is absolutely no sunlight at all. Standard time forever, DST is trash.
We could “eliminate daylight savings time “. We would not need congress approval. What we cannot do is “make daylight savings time permanent “, that needs congressional approval. We could just join Arizona and the rest and stay on standard time all year. I don’t understand why we couldn’t have just voted for that - or all these other states. There is more to the story, but we aren’t even getting clear basic information in this reporting.
Because making Standard permanent would actually be an improvement, and government is obsessed with making everything worse, hence the pursuit of permanent DST.
Washington didn't pass a bill to "do away with daylight savings time." It passed a bill to make daylight savings time permanent, year round. Please get your story straight.
Exactly and the kicker is if we had been given the opportunity to vote on a bill making standard time permanent we would not need congressional approval.
No, that's false. You can see it during weekends, and holidays. Darkness in the morning is objectively terrible for everybody as it violates the circadian rhythm. Time for DST to go.
So we need to elect competent people that do what they are elected to do. The only reason to keep the time changes is to disrespect us as citizens. Do not vote for anybody that does not work at the job we gave them.
Follow the examples of Arizona and Hawaii! Let this be the last time we change the clocks! Forget about daylight savings time! Animals don't observe it, why should we?

But quit bitching about the entire country succumbing to your beliefs. That is a lot of what's wrong with this country now. FJB
I believe this report is incorrect. Isn't the Washington state proposal to eliminate standard time not daylight saving time? I would prefer staying on standard time. (Which is what the report was saying the Washington state proposal is.) There are studies that show standard time is healthier that daylight saving time.
I like more day light after the job. More time to do things that needs to be done at home. I sorry that those chose to live way up north has more dark than day light. Clocks don't know the difference!! Only the body is affected!!
We are moving to standard time in the fall. Daylight savings is in the spring. If they left daylight savings we in WI would be dark till mid morning. I hate daylight savings time.
The sunshine protection act actually eliminates standard time, not daylight savings time. So we would be changing time permanently. Standard time is the norm.
Lol,,people are confused when it comes to talking about daylight savings time,,,because of the negative affect it has on the mind and body, changing back and forth. Standard time can not be changed. At noon the sun is high in the sky. Stay in rythm with the planet and people are more healthy. Want longer days move north,,,want shorter days move south.
Is it still respectful to say our congress is worthless, I mean, I am telling the truth!? How complicated can this be? Then again, we are talking about congress working!
I've been curious of what ever happened to that. I thought it had passed. But then we were still changing our clocks. But personally, Daylight Savings has existed all my life, so I really don't care it if continues. It doesn't bother me.
@@johnp139 Flawed information? What are you talking about? A few years ago it was on the news that the government wanted to stop all the changing of the clocks twice a year. That's what I've been curious about, since it didn't happen. What's "flawed" about that?
Time change absolutely needs to be done away with period! Stop dragging your feet and just do it! It will help everyone! It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that, right? Yikes, this country is so messed up!
My state straddles the longitude for true solar time, yet our insane politicians want to enact permanent Daylight Savings Time. Ughf!!! How would I ever break that to my trusty sextant???
Of course America can't even fix something as simple as deciding what time it it, something that literally everyone agrees needs fixing. If we can't even do this, then nothing else of real importance will get addressed either. 😮💨
FIX YOUR HEADLINE. People want to stay on Daylight Savings (what we are on most of the year) permanently. WORDS MATTER. PASS THE SUNSHINE PROTECTION ACT MARCH 2024 - SPRING FORWARD, FOREVER
Daylight "saving" time was created for farmers to get a jump on Daylight time for their farming activities/business. It never had anything to do with ordinary people and their way of life. This time change should never have been implemented to the general public. PERIOD.
No. Farmers don't give a %^&* what the clock says. Neither do the farmers' animals. The sun rises when it rises and sets when it sets. Noon is when the sun is highest in the sky - or SHOULD be - which would be STANDARD time.
There are two replies already to this, and I can only see one. Anyway, a quick Google of that concept will help you understand that farmers don't give a rat's ass what the clock says. The animals don't care, the fields don't care. Farmers had absolutely nothing to do with DST.
I think the entire world should exclusively switch to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), now sometimes referred to as Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). Because, it is always the same time everywhere! 😤Before people had clocks, the sunrise, high noon, and sunset were the best daily time references, but it's clumsy and silly now that we are a global society where our technology provides constant and accurate time references. In certain parts of the world if people want to start work or school later or earlier at different times of the year just agree to start later or earlier and leave the clocks alone . . . JUST LEAVE THEM A L O N E 😭😭😭😂
We tried DST year 'round and it contributed to accidents with children walking to school or the bus stop in the dark. Also increased dangers of kidnapping and sex predator's. None of those problems have changed.
I'm not surprised Congress hasn't acted. they seem hell-bent on making sure we're not a 'happier healthier Nation"

But quit bitching about the entire country succumbing to your beliefs.
That is a lot of what's wrong with this country now.

Permanent daylight savings time is the way to go!
SPRING FORWARD, FOREVER
im so tired of this we needs to stop moving time back it sucks. all they have to do is say its over.smh
Learn how to write!
I believe this report is incorrect. Isn't the Washington state proposal to eliminate standard time not daylight saving time? I would prefer staying on standard time. (Which is what the report was saying the Washington state proposal is.) There are studies that show standard time is healthier that daylight saving time.
And states do not require congressional approval to stay on standard time.
This story is a fluff piece, not meant to be informative I guess.
The story is OUTRIGHT WRONG!!!!
Come on Congress do something
I like more day light after the job. More time to do things that needs to be done at home. I sorry that those chose to live way up north has more dark than day light. Clocks don't know the difference!! Only the body is affected!!
And the body is negatively effected by DST!
You have these things at home called lights. We're not using candles anymore. DST belongs in the trash.
We are moving to standard time in the fall. Daylight savings is in the spring. If they left daylight savings we in WI would be dark till mid morning. I hate daylight savings time.
The sunshine protection act actually eliminates standard time, not daylight savings time. So we would be changing time permanently. Standard time is the norm.
They should be honest about it, seems like they claim getting rid of DST because they know getting rid of Standard Time isn't desirable.
Please change this bill of change the time
They've got a Democrat in charge of it, it'll never happen.
demon crats
Both parties haven't done a thing to end it in decades.
Lol,,people are confused when it comes to talking about daylight savings time,,,because of the negative affect it has on the mind and body, changing back and forth. Standard time can not be changed. At noon the sun is high in the sky. Stay in rythm with the planet and people are more healthy. Want longer days move north,,,want shorter days move south.
When I retire I am not worried about the clock or what my wife or no one wants . I am done living on a clock
You want more daylight then GET UP EARLIER
We HATE it!!
I thought california voted to end daylight savings time ???
They DIDN’T!!!! They voted to KEEP IT YEAR ROUND!!!! IGNORANT FOOL!
Is it still respectful to say our congress is worthless, I mean, I am telling the truth!? How complicated can this be? Then again, we are talking about congress working!
We need to go back a half hour and leave it alone
omg that is the funniest thing i've ever heard. but hey it just might make everyone happy :) just split the difference lol lol
Stop daylight savings time.
But why haven't they is the bigger question???
People are ignorant and don’t know the difference between DST and Standard Time!!! Arizona and Hawaii don’t use DST!
When you live in the PNW, it’s very problematic to be dark so early. It impacts power consumption as well due to darkness
Talked about this today with several friends today about this and we all agree it needs to be permanent time

ST or DST?
1:20 What he is saying and what's on the screen do not match...
You do not gain or lose anything an hour is an hour no matter what you do with it.
But the clock still dictates WHEN you do many things.
This time change sucks! All it does is disrupts your sleep cycle , poor babies schedules are messed up. Who cares if it's dark in the morning?
USA will not change clocks DST Ends or DST Begins.
Sunrise at 8:44 AM
Sunset 5:17 PM in Seattle around December 7th.
We don't want to get rid of it, we want to make daylight savings time permanent. We want more daylight at the end of the day.
No. Only Boomers want that. DST is crap.
I've been curious of what ever happened to that. I thought it had passed. But then we were still changing our clocks. But personally, Daylight Savings has existed all my life, so I really don't care it if continues. It doesn't bother me.
Happened with what? This whole story is flawed with wrong information!
@@johnp139 Flawed information? What are you talking about? A few years ago it was on the news that the government wanted to stop all the changing of the clocks twice a year. That's what I've been curious about, since it didn't happen. What's "flawed" about that?
I been thinking about that for the longest.
Perhaps an Executive Order?
We Need to stop moving back onto Standard!
Time change absolutely needs to be done away with period! Stop dragging your feet and just do it! It will help everyone! It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that, right? Yikes, this country is so messed up!
My state straddles the longitude for true solar time, yet our insane politicians want to enact permanent Daylight Savings Time. Ughf!!! How would I ever break that to my trusty sextant???
IT NEEDS TO END!!!!
It's detrimental to our health.
Of course America can't even fix something as simple as deciding what time it it, something that literally everyone agrees needs fixing. If we can't even do this, then nothing else of real importance will get addressed either. 😮💨
FIX YOUR HEADLINE. People want to stay on Daylight Savings (what we are on most of the year) permanently. WORDS MATTER.
PASS THE SUNSHINE PROTECTION ACT
MARCH 2024 - SPRING FORWARD, FOREVER
Sounds like hell. Standard Time IS Standard Time for a reason.
Arizona never changes clock
Daylight "saving" time was created for farmers to get a jump on Daylight time for their farming activities/business. It never had anything to do with ordinary people and their way of life. This time change should never have been implemented to the general public. PERIOD.
No. Farmers don't give a %^&* what the clock says. Neither do the farmers' animals. The sun rises when it rises and sets when it sets. Noon is when the sun is highest in the sky - or SHOULD be - which would be STANDARD time.
Exactly.
There are two replies already to this, and I can only see one. Anyway, a quick Google of that concept will help you understand that farmers don't give a rat's ass what the clock says. The animals don't care, the fields don't care. Farmers had absolutely nothing to do with DST.
It needs to stay just like it is now....................In winter here in Ky it will be dark at 4:30 if its cloudy outside...thats just crazy...
You me continue to change the clocks twice a year? That is how it is now.
I think the entire world should exclusively switch to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), now sometimes referred to as Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). Because, it is always the same time everywhere! 😤Before people had clocks, the sunrise, high noon, and sunset were the best daily time references, but it's clumsy and silly now that we are a global society where our technology provides constant and accurate time references. In certain parts of the world if people want to start work or school later or earlier at different times of the year just agree to start later or earlier and leave the clocks alone . . . JUST LEAVE THEM A L O N E 😭😭😭😂
Time to end it. It's outdated, dangerous for driving, peoples mental health & not needed for any practical reason.
He should rename his clock repair shop as "The Cog Is Dead Clock Repair".
Arizona handles it
Please get rid of day light savings time. It means absolutely nothing!!!
This and Electoral College in my lifetime would be nice
We tried DST year 'round and it contributed to accidents with children walking to school or the bus stop in the dark. Also increased dangers of kidnapping and sex predator's.
None of those problems have changed.
You are in for a surprise when you find out just who is involved in the crimes you mentioned!! . And the surprise will be coming soon. Its deep
I hate winter. The days are just too short.
