DST Forever...? (1 Viewer)

despite it having no impact to them or their constituents, they voted in favor.

And this is where you lose me. I'm not sure how you fail to understand that we still have to interact with the rest of the world. We have to navigate the fact that the difference in time between us and others is constantly changing.

Imagine right now that you have family in california. You maintain an awareness of the difference in time between you and them for phone calls, interaction, etc. Factor in a job too. Now imagine that every few months the amount of time that's different between you actually changes.

So yeah, we don't change our clocks, but the fact that everyone else changes theirs while we don't is quite impactful.

I agree, having to adjust to differing time differences is much worse than changing the clocks twice a year.

Oh I get why having everyone around you constantly changing their time would be a PITA and understand wanting to stick with just one time. I, too, want to stick with just one time.

What surprises me is that you prefer that time to be DST vs standard. Does Arizona not like being on standard time or do you just wish you were in a different time zone?
