Trump wants to end daylight savings time

apnews.com

>In a post on his social media site Friday, Trump said his party would try to end the practice when he returns to office.

>“The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation,” he wrote.

>Setting clocks forward one hour in the spring and back an hour in the fall is intended to maximize daylight during summer months, but has long been subject to scrutiny. Daylight saving time was first adopted as a wartime measure in 1942.

>Health experts have said that lawmakers have it backward and that standard time should be made permanent.

And I couldn't agree more.

It's misleading to call it eliminating it when they intend to make it permanent. Like when they told everyone they want to eliminate the tax on social security and medicare. They plan to get rid of the tax by ending the programs.

They mean make it permanent rather than eliminate it. I would like it eliminated.

(I do realize this is an unpopular position, I just like truth and less confusion). KISS serves me well as does honesty. It would be interesting if Trump made it so everyone has to lie about the time.
