    I don’t care if it’s permanent or gone, just fucking pick one and stick with it.

      Retail likes extra daylight when people get off work, so they can buy stuff.

      To clarify: the retail association of America is the big lobby here.

      I, like most humans, just don’t care for the change.

        I mean, to be fair, I’d also like extra daylight when I’m done with work to just enjoy life more. But I’m sure this isn’t what Republicans are concerned with given all of the other policies inflicted upon the populace.

        Also, a 4 AM sunrise seems way too early for me.

          I’m an early bird and love my long mornings. Sitting around in the cold dark mornings isn’t my favorite, but that’s honestly my beef with winter. I understand it’s personal.
