Living in Arizona I don't need to change our clocks tonight. However, as a board member of the shadowy alien global cabal that runs everything I'm willing to pass along your wishes concerning this matter.

Screw changing clocks twice a year.

Authorities said.....best leave it.....unsolved
I’m good either way. I don’t like the time change, and it screws up the pooches body clock. I say no changes, but don’t really care which hour we stick with

Change of time or not, it does not influence my biological clock too much but knowing that it will be dark around 4:30 p.m. is Yuck

I’d rather eat breakfast in the dark than dinner.

Personally I'd prefer to stick to one 'time' throughout the year - whether they decide to stick with Summer, Winter or even split the difference. It really doesn't make sense to me and certainly messes up my pets and my own body clock. Working the night it goes back often ended up screwing me out of an hours 'pay' - 13hrs worked, 12hrs on the clock so 12hrs paid due to having to work the 'extra' hour the clocks go back and whilst in theory, you could 'benefit' when they go forward, chances are you weren't on Nights that weekend.
If they moved the clocks forward say half an hour in the Summer, they basically split the difference and could just keep that 'time' indefinitely if it's all to do with natural light and its only 30mins different to Summer/Winter time without the hassles and drawbacks of changing time twice a year. I'd rather they stopped changing the clocks twice a year - some places don't, and others change at different times of the year. In the UK, it's always the last weekends of March and October but in the US, I believe its 2weeks earlier. That can mess up international business - arrange a zoom meeting and then some people don't turn up on time because they have changed times and you haven't...
If it was a UNIVERSAL thing with EVERY country doing it at the same time of year, It perhaps would make more sense but I'd rather stick to one 'time' throughout the year - I don't care if its GMT, BST or somewhere between the two (as I live in the UK) as it makes no difference to me, where as the two weekends a year the clocks change, it can take a week or so for things to 'settle' back to feeling 'normal' and re-establish routines.

US and UK used to be in sync, but in the early 2000s, the US changed to go three weeks earlier in the spring and one week later in the fall so we had an additional four weeks of late afternoon sun. We bought a new alarm clock that automatically resets itself - less than a year before the change. So for almost 20 years, the clock we bought so we wouldn't have to reset it now has to be reset twice as often.

I really don't care one way or the other just get rid of time changes twice a year. What really bothers me is that the other 8 billion folks on this planet expect me to follow a clock when it is much more practical for all 8 billion of you to accommodate my ever changing sleep/wake habits.
