I think golf courses would probably be impacted. It would also get warmer much earlier in the day in the summer. No cool mornings to try to accomplish things.
**** daylight savings

- Start date
I would just hate to lose the hour after work. I can adjust on the weekends and get up earlier. I am usually up by 7 or before anyways. Would just try to go to bed an hour earlier on Friday and Saturday nights.
I figured if they made it permanent it'd be DST, not standard. Americans enjoy their summers, so I can't see the lost hour going over well.

Permanent DST was implemented in 1974. It was supposed to be a two-year test. People hated it so much the government canceled the test after only a few months.
I was there. It was pretty depressing, going to school in pitch darkness, with that darkness outside the school windows lasting until after 8:30.
You would have to adjust. I’m usually an go to bed at 10:30 and I would be going to bed at 9:30 if it comes to this. Can’t waste the daylight.

Permanent standard time wouldn’t make any difference in the winter - we already are on standard time between November and March.
I love the later sun in the summer.
Perfect for boating, golfing, bike rides, ICubs.

Yep, I don't like changing the clocks, but the reality of a 0430 sunrise sounds less than ideal... I think permanent DST might be the best IMO, the worst part being, winter sunrises of 8 am, but a 530 pm winter sunset isn't so bad.
Being able to golf until 8:30 in June/July is a thing.
I will gladly sacrifice daylight in the morning to have more light in in the evening. I hate the fall and winter as it its gets dark too soon so trying to do anything outside hard to do. I could care less about it being dark when I take my kids to school and drive to work.
My point is this area ******* sucks in the winter. We barely see light even on a good day. The cloud cover is ridiculous to the point where we use lights all day during the 5 month winter.
I get as much actual sunlight as possible in the summer. Cutting that back is rough.
Yeah
Trump wants to turn the clock on daylight saving time
President-elect Donald Trump wants to turn the lights out on daylight saving time. In a post on his social media site Friday, Trump said his party would try to end the practice when he returns to office.apnews.com
JFC. Your ancestors woke up in the morning and decided to fight a Sabertooth tiger for the rights to kill a 5 ton mastodon but a 1 hour time shift got me the sads.
Its worth noting, it was implemented on short notice and effective immediatly so that it was a dramatic change for people (iirc it became effective in late december or early january), leading to a push for it to be reversed.
Had they simply waited to implement it until the prior fall and not had the 'fall back', it would have been a much less dramatic change for people and not had the issues it did.
I work all day. I'd love to have a lot more daylight AFTER getting off work to enjoy. Definitely will not like a permanent change away from that.
The perfect solution is everyone has to adjust their clocks 1 minute and 10 seconds every week. That way it is a gradual change . . . .
