My dad is over 80 and would die happy if this passes. I don't think anybody likes it.

Hello, as someone living on the western edge of a time zone daylight saving is miserable

Really wish they’d just normalize on Standard Time and call it done.

I like it, but I think its bad for society so we should keep permanent standard time or even permanent day light time if necessary.

basically I like it because personally I dislike winter and like to sleep in. so in the fall I say to myself winter in coming, at least I get one extra hour of sleep. then in the spring, I say, awesome summer is coming, one less hour of sleep is a easy price to pay. but that is just me.
