Quote: Tanko
Sixty million kids will be going to school in the dark, if they make it permanent.

They tried it in '73 with disastrous results.

"And yet the early-morning darkness quickly proved dangerous for children: A 6-year-old Alexandria girl was struck by a car on her way to Polk Elementary School on January 7; the accident broke her leg. Two Prince George’s County students were hurt in February. In the weeks after the change, eight Florida kids were killed in traffic accidents. Florida’s governor, Reubin Askew, asked for Congress to repeal the measure. “It’s time to recognize that we may well have made a mistake,” US Senator Dick Clark of Iowa said during a speech in Congress on January 28, 1974. "

Another great reason to never have kids.

Now the kids where I live will be walking to school in the dark and it won't have started warming yet with the sun still down. We need to toughen up kids these days as they are getting too soft. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

Absolutely Just have the kids follow standard time when the days get shorter People might have less kids.

Depending on where they work that may or may not be flexible for an extra hour. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?
