“If [permanent Daylight Saving Time] was put into effect, sunrise would be 8:20am in New York. You don’t want kids walking to school in the dark. We don’t want all of us commuting in the dark.” Thank you, Alyssa Farah Griffin! 👏 We want permanent Standard Time instead!

Tell your senators to oppose the Sunshine Protection Act, amend permanent Daylight Saving Time to permanent Standard Time, for natural sunlight!

Permanent DST would force work and school to start an hour earlier than Standard Time all winter. 🚨 Watch this full conversation on The View’s YouTube:

@Alyssafarah Thanks, Alyssa! Please help us #DitchDST and #SaveStandardTime for children’s health and safety!

@Alyssafarah The last time permanent DST was tried, school kids died in their morning school trips. That annoyed some parents. It was called-off after ONE winter. STANDARD time is standard. Anything else is Weird Time. Why would any sane person would actually WANT that? cc:@POTUS

@Alyssafarah Change operating hours instead of the clocks.

@Alyssafarah I think we can probably say that the argument for farmers is long past. Farmers with equipment available in today's world can get their fields worked just fine with Standard Time hours. One of the initial arguments for DST was to help farmers out.

@Alyssafarah DST was never actually for the farmers, that myth was invented by the evening shopping lobby.

@Alyssafarah It’d be closer to 9 here in Washington. High school kids already start school in the dark even in standard time. DST would make it suck so much more, just so their parents can drive home from work “in daylight” (even though it rains here constantly, so it’d still be almost dark.

Standard time sucks. If everyone in NYC had actual property to upkeep and long evening commutes home, and wanted daylight for activities once they got home, they’d be all against it. Most people would rather drive to work at dark or dawn, than to drive to work in the daylight and then home in the dark or dusk to do property maintenance and decorating and cookouts and exercising and playtime with the kids. You can’t even mow grass that early in the morning, even if a nut job wanted to. Early bird coffee sippers love it, and most of society hates it.

@Alyssafarah Totally agree. The masses have been conditioned to associate Daylight time with more light but nothing is further from the truth. Winters and northern darkness can't be stopped so choose the proper time for your zone and be done with it. Standard is the proper choice

@Alyssafarah Why is permanent DST even being discussed again?? It failed miserably back in 1974 and within a year we went back to switching the clocks twice a year. Why drag it up again??

@Alyssafarah We need to Put a stop to the house right this instant with Email or something. We need to rip up that bill right jow

@Alyssafarah I would like to see all states go to Standard Time, then individual states such as Florida switching time zones as decided by referendum. If Florida was ahead of the rest of the US by 1 hour we’d all adjust.

@Alyssafarah Kids already walk to the bus stop in the dark in the winter. She’s a loon.

@Alyssafarah Consider the reason why the time was always set back to Standard for the winter months in the first place. Why did they not just leave Daylight "Savings" Time in place all year around then?

@Alyssafarah Sanity on The View. I did not have that on my 2026 bingo card.

@Alyssafarah We all need to find a way now to stop these people from forcing Year Round Daylight Savings Time. They are throwing out there Email and forcing to do this on Facebook and we need to get the Email Address now and put an automatic stop to the house now and I mean now

@Alyssafarah Personally I'd rather have the little bit of light we'd get after work vs when I'm at work.

@Alyssafarah The bought and paid for government doesn't care what we want

@Alyssafarah Please. Stay on standard time all year. Please. Pretty please.

@Alyssafarah There must be enough evidence from Michigan, Ohio, et al that are in the "wrong" time zone They are essentially on DST/doubleDST

@Alyssafarah @MarkJCarney

@Alyssafarah Start school at 9:30

@Alyssafarah Everyone loves to code "standard time" as some big conservative evil plan to genocide the American people because they lose evening patio time. Then tRump joined in for golfers on it. "ZOMG!" Our IDENTITY! Their year-round DST will be bitterness & despair & will be delicious.

@Alyssafarah Yes, we need more like @Alyssafarah !!

@Alyssafarah Only politicians can be stupid enough to believe DST was ever a good idea!

@Alyssafarah DST is basically permanent artificial time. Bad idea. Of course, Trump likes the artificial, crappy time.👀

@Alyssafarah I agree but another suggestion is to change it back to the way it was in the late 1950s and later. Don’t start DST until late April. That makes the Spring transition much easier.

@Alyssafarah 👍👍👍👍

@Alyssafarah In December the sun rises in SE Virginia after eight o’clock now, and sets around four thirty.

@Alyssafarah Repeal the 19th amendment, for the love of everything holy, please.

@Alyssafarah Put the clocks between the two, leave it there and be done with it.

The Senate will vote in favor of it.

@Alyssafarah Lmao. No one gives a fuck about your kids.

@Alyssafarah dont fucking care.. have school start later, have your job start later. we are adults we set the time things start

@Alyssafarah Binary Thinking Alert! Does it occur to you that on permanent standard time, we'd just have a mirror image of the same problems. Now we'd have driving home in darkness. Kids' after school activities in the dark, no outdoor recreation after work. The solution is: NOTHING.
