I feel like I’m in such a minority of people who think DST is great.
No. I don’t like spring forward, but fall back gets me a nice boost as suddenly the sun comes up an 8 am rather than 9.
It’s winter. The sun is going to set at either four or five (where I live, it’s certainly worse other places and better others). You’re not getting daylight after work. It’s winter.
I don’t care which one we go with, but pick one and stick with it.
You kinda need the back and forth or the work day start will drift whichever way.
That’s one of my major thoughts in favor of DST.
Why would the workday start drift?
Then let employers shift hours or start times if they rely on daylight. Nothing that comes from DST is useful enough to be universally mandatory.
What? I don’t follow.
It’s about the change being important.
If we stay on a single “time” (say standard work day starts at 4 hours before solar noon), we’ll drift the work time to start/end the work day at some appropriate time.
The issue is that what that time is that most socially useful changes greatly over the year unless you live close to the equator.
