| A newly signed Georgia bill would make daylight-saving time permanent so criminals will have 'one less hour in the evening to commit their crimes,' official says | |
| 2021-04-25 | |
The bill would still need approval from Congress, WSB-TV reported. Lawmakers across the US have been pushing to make daylight saving time permanent. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has signed a bill that would make the state have daylight saving time all year, according to multiple reports. The Republican governor signed Senate Bill 100 earlier this week, on April 21, according to WSB-TV. The bill was greenlit by the Georgia General Assembly in March and aims to prevent residents from switching their clocks two times a year, according to Atlanta Journal-Constitution. | |

| #10 Was never sold on the whole daylight saving thing. After all Dairy cows don't care, it adds an unnecessary additional constant in astronomical observations. |

| #8 I'm sure there are more important issues out there, but this anachronism called daylight-saving time has to go. Good move. |

| #7 Why not imitate China - one time zone for the whole country? |

| #4 ...well before railroads, everything was 'local' time. Prior to that the only people really 'hooked' on a specific time were mariners who needed to know Greenwich Mean Time to calculate their position in the world. |

| #3 Farmers with stock generally prefer 'Standard Time'. More light in the AM most of the year and 'Cows don't care what your watch says'. |

| #2 Look dudes, just reclassify the zones - Eastern becomes Atlantic, Central becomes Eastern, Mountain becomes Central, and Pacific becomes Mountain. We no longer live in the tempo and world of the mid-19th Century when the original zones were codified for the new technology of railroads. |
