Comments on: Falling Back This Weekend: Why Not Keep Daylight Saving Time Year Round In Florida? http://www.northescambia.com/2023/11/falling-back-this-weekend-why-not-keep-daylight-saving-time-year-round-in-florida Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Tue, 07 Apr 2026 09:43:04 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: TLC http://www.northescambia.com/2023/11/falling-back-this-weekend-why-not-keep-daylight-saving-time-year-round-in-florida/comment-page-1#comment-527771 TLC Wed, 08 Nov 2023 22:55:50 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=529723#comment-527771 AZ is allowed to stay on Standard Time. Congress already allows year round Standard time. But Florida uniquely wants year round Savings time and needs Congressional permission. It makes sense with our semi-tropical location because we do not have the extreme reduction in sunlight hours the more northerly states experience. It’s not about farmers or school busses. But shortened hours or sunlight does affect mental health and commerce. AZ is allowed to stay on Standard Time. Congress already allows year round Standard time.

Kids at the bus stop? Really? Students in Alaska catch the bus in the cold and dark. They get off the bus in the cold and dark too. Schools do not adjust times for the dark. Let’s get back to discussions about education—teacher shortages & discipline, and attendance issues would be great start! Leave the clocks alone! Kids at the bus stop? Really?

It does not change the hours of sunlight in the day. as far as kids standing in the dark waiting for the school bus all the schools have to do is adjust The Times school is in Session and that will ever happen.

Daylight savings time is just a scam. It’s only purpose is to keep shoppers out longer in the evening to put more money into corporations pockets. The BS they try to feed you about benefiting farmers just isn’t true. Most farmers prefer standard time. We need to go to standard and stay there.

It’s mainly Europe and America that still observe it. Puzzling… we don’t change the clocks at the same day and time as Europe. They are a week or two ahead of us switching back or forth. Looks to me that causes even more problems for plane schedules, etc. The majority of countries no longer have daylight savings time. It’s mainly Europe and America that still observe it.
