Anybody know what those of us in the remaining states can do to help push this forward? I've never contacted my local representatives before, but this is the kind of no-brainer change that I would love for us to finally enact.

You can just set your clocks to whatever you want. Stop trying to force people to do it with the government.

Ok but for most people work hours are dictated by a shared clock (and many daily activities as well) so... It becomes a coordination problem if we don't all agree on what time it is in each locale.

Most devices don't even require manually setting the clock anymore. What exactly is so difficult about the time changing by an hour?

I’m curious about your school or job/work schedules. Or how consequential it is, when personal scheduling isn’t kept.

Regardless of where you stand on this issue, I hope we can all at least agree that implementing half daylight savings time (ie a 30 minute adjustment) is just stupid.

This idea was apparently introduced in a bill last month: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/7378...

Not really. The equilibrium of removing daylight savings will result in schedules somewhere between DST and Standard Time. This just gets you there faster.

The trade off of having 30-minute time zone offsets probably isn't worth it, but this solution isn't immediately "stupid."
