  • Day light savings time in Texas

    Did y'all see anything about the Texas Legislature considering opting out of DST?

    Saw a short blurb on the news the other night and nothing since.

    Let's do away with it, I'm sick of changing clocks around here. Who's with me?

    I personally would rather stay on Standard Time year-round.

      They are also trying to double the homestead exemption. I'm starting to like our conservative congress.

          The proposed bill has it as 25% of the median home market value, which would be $33,625.

            Yeah, if it passes, next November we'll switch back to standard time and stay there year round as I understand it.

            Good to hear on the homestead exemption too.

              Is DST even necessary anymore? I don't mind extra hour of sleep in the fall, but I don't see any benefit to DST anymore

                    It's good enough for Arizona, I think it's good enough for us. We didn't do the time switch in Korea either.

                      ditto, can't get crap done outside in winter after work. It's bad enough the day is going to be shorter any way.
                      the only people this helps are fucktards who drive to work at 6AM, everyone else gets fucking screwed

                          #1 post, would read again if it wasn't written in such a profound manner.
