AMA calls for permanent standard time
www.ama-assn.org
At its interim meeting on Monday, the AMA House of Delegates supported ending daylight saving time and moving permanently to standard time.

I hope everyone who wants to be on permanent DST experiences an eternity of the first day of spring forward, never rested again

    British Columbia, Canada just went to permanent DST.

    So far, it seems no different than before. Maybe it’ll be different when others set their clocks back in 6 months.

    Realistically, I can’t see it making much difference. People already don’t live in alignment with their circadian clock.

        California voters overwhelmingly approved the permanent shift several years ago. HOWEVER no one in the state assembly brought it up during the legislative session to ratify it, so nothing changed. Most frustrating display of incompetence for those of us who voted for it.

          Same thing happened in BC and I believe in OR; the pacific states/province were working out a plan by which they’d all switch at the same time. BC apparently lost patience and just went ahead with it.
