Daylight saving compromise

Fri., Nov. 12, 2021

“Should we permanently end daylight saving time?” (Nov. 7) was a great article. Everyone has opinions about why we should or should not make changes to daylight saving time.

Why don’t we compromise: Change the time one half hour once, then never change it again. Everyone gets part of what they want.

And no more heart attacks or car accidents because of the confusion.
