DST is junk clock setting. Studies show that setting clocks as close to solar noon as possible is best for health & safety.

What pro-DST people want, in essence, is to force *everyone* to get up an hour early, so that they can have an “extra hour” of light after work. #DitchDST

[Nick Mark MD @nickmmark]

Daylight savings increased medical errors, causes excess deaths, makes kids do worse in school, and wastes billions of dollars in excess heating costs.

We need permanent standard time not DST!

I explain why here: https://t.co/5CUPqALncG

[Jay Pea @mr_jay_pea]

Fall back and forget about it. Stick to Standard Time!

[Maggie Powers @maggie_pow11415]

The people overwhelmingly favor a return to PERMANENT STANDARD TIME. Please, @realDonaldTrump : Don't let the vocal minority force their will on all of us!

[Jennifer @ExpressTN]

Please rethink your position on DST @realDonaldTrump This is unhealthy and MANY people want permanent ST, not the created government war time known as DST. @SaveStandard

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

Americans have started to notice that companies sell the exact same products to men as they do women, but the women’s version cost more

This is called “Pinkflation” or the “Pink Tax”

This is a real and well documented fact

Example Tweezers: Brands like Revlon, Tweezerman and more frequently sell basically identical stainless steel tweezers with only cosmetic differences like color and packaging. They markup the women’s line

Women’s tweezers can be $18+ while men’s might be $12, but they’re the same

It’s not just tweezers

Studies from NYC Consumer Affairs and more have found women pay 13%+ more on average for similar personal care items like razors, deodorant, shampoo, and grooming tools

Some women’s products have slight design tweaks but many don’t, many just change the color

It’s just another corporate scam in America that’s somehow legal

People are not getting this.

In January, most of the country gets roughly 9–10 hours of daylight no matter what we call the clock.

Example:

STANDARD TIME:
☀️ Sunrise: ~7:15 AM
🌅 Sunset: ~5:00 PM

PERMANENT DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME:
☀️ Sunrise: ~8:15 AM
🌅 Sunset: ~6:00 PM

That is the SAME amount of daylight.

You did not gain sunlight.

You just moved the clock one hour later and created darker mornings in winter.

The sun doesn’t change.
The clock does

STOP trying to put America on permanent jet lag.

Permanent DST means:

darker winter mornings
children waiting for school buses in darkness
worse circadian disruption
less natural morning light

The human body runs on SUN time — not shopping time.

End the clock changes if you want.
But permanent STANDARD time is the biologically healthy option.
Nature already created “daylight savings.”
It’s called summer.

Dear @SenateGOP @SenateDems @SenateFloor : please reject permanent DST.

[USMC Lady Vet 🇺🇸 @Arkypatriot]

@jamesawhiite People demanding that we stay on daylight savings time have absolutely no concept of true science

[Save Standard Time @SaveStandard]

@jamesawhiite Counties that observe the wrong time zone experience significantly higher rates of illnesses and accidents. Ditch DST and Save Standard Time! https://t.co/DF5NtAfRXH

[James Anderson White @jamesawhiite]

It’s imperative that we revert to STANDARD, not Daylight time, for two reasons, one of which you may have never considered.

You know the first: solar noon is closest to 12 o’clock all year. That means an equal number of hours before and after noon each day.

This also means earlier sunrises which are significantly better for establishing a healthy circadian rhythm.

The second reason is that nearly ONE THIRD of US counties are in the wrong timezone.

A significant swath of the country isn’t only an artificial hour ahead because of daylight time… but TWO HOURS ahead of true solar time.

Year-round daylight time, especially without recalibrating time zones, would establish this error permanently, affecting millions of Americans.

We should be letting the Sun dictate the day the way God made it. Arbitrary, artificial tampering would be worse for us all.

Fix the time zones and affix standard time.

Permanent Daylight Saving Time when last tried:
—“It is absolutely ridiculous to have DST at this time of year [in winter]…”
—“Safety has become a great concern…”
—“Students dislike getting up an hour earlier…”

[Mike Netter @nettermike]

California Democrats are trying to rewrite the rules of the Governor’s race.
They’ve filed a ballot initiative to scrap the “Top 2” primary system — because the two candidates leading right now are Republicans.

The initiative would bring back party-only primaries, where you’d only vote for candidates in your own party.

The guy behind it is Steve Maviglio, former communications director for Gov. Gray Davis and a longtime Democratic operative. This isn’t some outsider — it’s a top Democratic insider moving to change the rules mid-game.

The irony: the Top 2 system locked Republicans out for 15 years. Now that it’s set to lock Democrats out, they want to change it.

[Save Standard Time @SaveStandard]

Our bodies align to the sun. Standard Time aligns better, while Daylight Saving Time is an hour too fast. Ditch DST and Save Standard Time, for less stress and greater health!

[Save Standard Time @SaveStandard]

California can ditch Daylight Saving Time this year. Tell your CA state legislators to support SB-1197 and SCR-7 today! https://t.co/t7pGlPP4YP

[Jay Pea @mr_jay_pea]

California’s bill to ditch Daylight Saving Time thankfully passed its first committee last month. Now it needs approval from Senator Sabrina Cervantes (D), Chair of Appropriations, to reach the senate floor for a vote by all senators. Please ask her to advance SB-1197!

👉 Contact Senator Cervantes by any of these means:
• Call her Sacramento office: 916-651-4031
• Call her Riverside office: 951-680-6750
• Write her email: [email protected]
• Write her web form: https://t.co/TLLmZvm3P0

👍 Suggested message:
• Dear Senator Cervantes, please advance SB-1197 from the Appropriations Committee. Voters approved Prop 7 eight years ago, which the official voter guide said “allows California to consider make Daylight Saving Time or Standard Time our year-round time”. This bill is the only legal way to do so. It’s also best for health and safety. Permanent Standard Time is endorsed by the California Medical Association, California Sleep Society, National Safety Council, and a hundred more nonprofits. My family is tired of changing clocks and losing sleep. Please move SB-1197 from Appropriations. Thank you!

🙏 If you have time for more:
• Ask any other members of the committee to support SB-1197, they are listed here: https://t.co/VO19jnFOpb
• Ask your personal state senator to sponsor SB-1197, find him/her from your home address here: https://t.co/gp2G2yNGVy

• “Permanent Standard Time is the only fair, viable option… Permanent Daylight Saving could create real health/safety issues.

[Save Standard Time @SaveStandard]

Standard Time sets clocks approximately to the sun, for objectivity.

Daylight Saving Time sets clocks an hour fast, to make everyone start work/school an hour early every morning, in the hope of boosting spending for a few industries (while depriving most people’s sleep).
