"U.S. Senate approves bill to make daylight saving time permanent"
Is it too soon to advocate for an extra daylight saving time?
It can begin in the Spring and fall back in the Fall to save us an additional hour of time during the non-winter months.
Then when people have accepted saving two hours of daylight we can make the two hour savings permanent and introduce a proposal for an additional hour of daylight savings.
Eventually our people on day shift will have 8 hours of daylight beginning when they end their shift. How glorious that will be, eh? They will have to work during the dark hours, but that isn't too much to ask to have all that glorious sunshine to play in after day shift (graveyard shift) ends.

It doesn't bother me one way or the other but If I got to choose I would prefer the extra daylight in the evening hours.

I can appreciate more daylight in the evening. I suppose that on the bright side, bankers' hours have shifted too. They used to begin work at 9 A.M. and now by the sun time they are beginning at 8 A.M. . When we make it year round, and propose an additional hour of daylight in the evening, Bankers will be starting at 7 A.M. sun time. It is a way to force people who would not vote to come in an hour earlier to work, to do so. If a majority of people want bankers to begin working at 7 A.M. we can force them to by pretending that 7 A.M. is 9 A.M. It doesn't change the reality of when the Sun is directly overhead but I like making wall street start their day an hour or two earlier too. If a business elects to they can change their work hours by starting an hour or two later. I think workers will enjoy traveling to work in the dark and getting up when nocturnal animals are on the prowl (especially in the winter and more so if we add an additional hour), to have that extra sunlight in the evening.
