Fuck standard time. Daylight savings time is ten times better for everything.
It also happens to already be the majority of the year so if anything we currently spend a few months in sucky standard time where it is dark every hour you are not at work.
Well let's make it a two hour shift so we can have twice as much savings. That will be even better, right?
We did that under Bush and it was awesome.
I say we do 12 hours.
Now that's how you save daylight! I'm in!
Settle for crack pipes?
You know some liberal twat will want to do 13 hrs, and conservative ass will want 11hrs
Yes.
Fuck standard time. Daylight savings time is ten times better for everything.
How so?
We live later. When we were a pre electric solar society it didn't matter. But we are a clock society now. We don't wake up with the sun. We wake up at 8am to be at work at 9am then off at 6pm then we have time to do things. Daylight savings time moves the clock to allow for more sunshine in the evening. This is economically, socially, and mentally beneficial for all. Less SADS, more shopping/recreational/free time with sun, longer for health and outdoor related activities, less electricity needed for lights, and less accidents on the road.
At 8:00 am I've been awake for 4 and a half hours. I've been at work for two.
You mean lazy-assed college kids get up at 8:00 am. That's different.
I guess I would say that since we're a clock-based society it doesn't make any sense to move the arbitrary time forward. We could all agree to move the time zones back to 'normal' and start activities at different hours. Kids by me go to school at three different times in the morning, depending on grade. A buddy of mine starts work at 4:30 AM. I wake up whenever the dogs want breakfast and start my day from there.
Setting a "standard' time just means setting one we all agree to.
This is stupid as fuck. Just wake your fat lazy ass up earlier. It is absolutely retarded to have different times set based on politics.
