If we MUST have it,why not spring forward on Friday afternoon at 1:00 and fall backward at 4:30 Monday morning?

We don't need it. It's stupid.
Just keep it on the summertime time.

Right up there with the stupidest practices we do, along with continuing to mint pennies and nickels that cost us more to make than they are worth in face value, and subsidizing overbreeding in a world that's already at a population level that is unsustainable in the long term.
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the folly. Problem is, there's no money in the solutions, compared to the money in the continuation of the stupidity. Good thing, since the rocket scientists are busy right now figuring up what they can make by plotting the details of our upcoming exploration of new sites for landfills on Mars and beyond. We've already filled lots of the apace in our own world and the skies above it.
Flame suit on, awaiting responses. Please be gentle, I'm old.

It's all about the money. Adding that hour allows sports after work. Decisions are make to either take money or promote to spend money.

Sounds like this is going to be our last time change. I wish our state would go back to having some common sense and do away with the time change like it was before Mitch Daniels AND get rid of the county by county split between Central and Eastern Time. I still have to ask customers what time zone they are in. |

I got the worst of all worlds. I live in CST zone, and work in EST zone. Juniors school is in CST, but the high school that controls the school system goes with EST although located in CST. Then our cell signal pings back and forth between the two living close to the county line. We have to set them and lock to avoid confusion. A mess!

I know the feeling. Living 1.5 miles to the West and 8 miles South of the time zone line, but refuse to set the clocks here on EST.

More and more states are jumping on board to just stick with the time it is now. It’s being brought back to the table by Rubio. We shall see if anything happens this time.

I've always felt that we should quit playing like it's a different time of day than it actually is, and just adjust our schedules to with the natural truth, as nearly as possible.
The sunrise and sunset times are available for every longitude, and the sun should be at it's highest point in the sky at the middle of the day. Depending on where you are within your time zone, you may be as much a half hour either way from that ideal natural matching of your clock and nature, but that's as close as we can come while still having the global time zones, which do make good sense.
Some states would still have different time zones within their state, and I suppose it does make some sense to "bend" the line a little to make the clocks in a county where a majority of the people work or trade in the big city nearby in another state and another time zone, but I suspect that even in those locations, adherence to the time zone closest to the natural one would be less troublesome than adhering to the one dictated by the legislators, who are so easily influenced by various business interests and special interest groups.
If we do want let politics determine what time it is, could we maybe get the legislature to shave a few days off the months of January and February, and add them to April and October so we'd have more time for mushrooms, crappies, and bowhunting?

I'm all for stopping the stupidity of changing clocks. Personally, I prefer eastern standard time because I'm a morning person, but I'll take whichever if we can stop changing the clocks.
