Yes, some will be positively impacted, some negatively - but shifting an entire time zone a full hour different from current is a terrible proposal. It would impact activities that depend on the availability of daylight. Even moreso if in state sharing a border with a state or nation that will not be making such a shift. Also to commerce, especially for businesses engaged in interstate and international commerce. This will be extremely disruptive to computer controlled processes. In effect it would have current Spring/Summer time remain the same, but it pushes the time forward an hour for Fall and Winter. If the the persons in the affected area get a chance to think it through and understand how it will impact their lives and economies, it's a legitimate thing to consider.īut the words "make DST permanent" is the same thing as eliminating daylight saving time while simultaneously and permanently advancing the entire time zone an hour forward year round. Neither is proposing minor adjustments to time zone borders necessarily stupid. It's a legitimate proposal to put to voters or to consider in legislatures.
