    I live in Minnesota and what’s more I work nights. I am more than familiar with never seeing the light of day especially durring the winter. Daylight savings can still fuck right off. There is no reason that we should literally be shifting the time of day for everyone just to accomodate a few individuals. If places want to shift their hours durring winter then they are more than welcome to do so. But as a whole time should be time. If a business wants it to be light when they open or close then they should have their hours reflect that. They can change their hours to be whatever they want. There’s no reason that 9AM or something has to be the start of shift. Those times are entirely arbatrary. They could be anything. If you want to start your shift later then convince your employer to let you start your shift later. But don’t tell me that everyone else needs to change their clocks to accommodate you.

    Also if people really care about daylight savings then just leave it in place. It doesn’t matter at all either way. Time is time. Let’s just stop changing the damn clocks.

      You get how that’s the same as not doing anything right? If you leave it in place all the time then daylight savings will break in the summer months and make it dark then.

      Daylight savings is necessary because the time of sunrise and sunset changes over the course of the year it’s exactly the same as having leap days to keep in sync with the orbit. Only cancels out 6 months later.

      Daylight savings exists because it’s easier to change the definition of time than it is to get companies to all alter their start and end times. Some companies would just not do it and it would be total chaos. Much easier for everyone just to stay in sync.

      Anyway why do you care so much? Pretty much every phone and smart device just changes automatically so you hardly even notice anything has happened. Also I’ve just looked it up Minnesota is not that far north.
