These shitbags always do the opposite of what's right. Fuck daylight savings time.

Doesn't seem to be a popular opinion but I like what we've got. Daylight savings is great in the summer when the days are long enough to keep it light the whole time I'm awake. But personally the idea of waking up for work in the winter and having it still be dark for 2 hours is terribly depressing. The sunset moving from 4:30 to 5:30 is not gonna make a huge difference in my ability to utilize sunlight in my day. Edit: Not a great look to downvote people for stating their opinion, people.

I mean, you're wrong because you're treating the times that work etc start & stop as somehow written in stone. So that deserves a down vote. We could have our schedules flex with the Sun if we wanted. Instead of flexing our labels of Sun positions to match our desired work start time labels.

So instead of shifting the clocks twice a year, shift our schedules by about 2 minutes every day to match the changing sunrise? Sure that sounds a lot easier.
