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.
Das cuz u GAY
It also means that no matter what you are driving to work in the dark, so it would stoll benefit u
What kind of work do you do that is so early and when do you go to bed? I’m up at 7 so bed at 11ish which is pretty normal. What do you do and do you like your job and sleep schedule?
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.
It's MUCH harder to reset thousands and millions of different schedules and independent times and starts vs just not rolling back the clock once.
