Introduction
Why am I sitting here writing on a nice day for hiking? Writing articles is taking precedence over hiking today. Further, I am also “fixin'” to call a good friend and my youngest brother. My “bionic” joints are doing well enough to hike.
As an aside, USSA is my acronym for “Ununited Socialist States of America.” That's what this once-great nation has become.
2021 Daylight Saving Time USA Survey: Who Likes It? Who Hates It?
The title of this section is what I used to search online earlier today. The search resulted in too many articles. I decided to select the following three.
You can figure out who YouGovAmerica is, as I did. Those folks have one somewhat interesting article: “Daylight Saving Time: Americans want to stay permanently ‘sprung forward’ and not ‘fall back.’” YouGov, by Kathy Frankovic, 11/4/2021. (I didn't correct the capitalization errors.) The article states, “Nearly twice as many Americans who prefer not changing their clocks would prefer that Daylight Saving time – not Standard Time – be the one that is kept.” Of course, the majority is wrong! Standard Time should be the yearlong preference. That's my opinion. Feel free to make it yours.
A day later, however, a different source indicated that yearlong Standard Time is the majority preference. See “Culture and Society: Dislike for changing the clocks persists.” The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 11/5/2021. (Again, I didn't correct the capitalization errors.) This entry states, “Forty-three percent want to stay on standard time year-round, while 32% prefer to see the clocks remain on daylight saving time.” The remaining 25% enjoy springing forward and falling back every year.
Finally, Save Standard Time has interesting information. They have opinion poll links that are from 2014 to 2019. Save Standard Time is a part of the International Alliance for Natural Time. Well, I'm glad that those of us who have different opinions about “govrmint” time have an international alliance!
Conclusion
Well, at least “govrmint” time has ended once again. I had to reset a “lucky” thirteen different timepieces. There are fourteen in all, but Mrs. Appalachian Irishman reset the time on her '08 Honda Civic. Thanks for bailing me out of my “lucky” thirteen, dear!
Papaw Marion Ferrell (4/13/1880–11/21/1970) hated “govrmint” time, as he called it. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, Papaw!
