I don't follow. How are people moving their routines back 2 hours? Shops aren't changing their hours and my work starts at the same time. I don't do anything according to the sun, I do everything because other people are doing that thing at that time.
- Houshalter 11y agoI meant 1 hour. But anyway that is the point of daylight savings time. The actual time doesn't change, just the number on the clock. Causing everyone to move their routines back 1 hour, so that they have more sunlight in the afternoon. Daylight savings time would work just as well if everyone decided to go to work from 8-4 during half of the year, and keep the clocks the same.
- intopieces 11y agoHow do you propose getting all workplaces to change their schedules to 8-4, nevermind the places that don't run those hours? Legislation? This solution keeps coming up and the practicality of it seems nonexistent. Any legislation of business is riddle with exceptions, there would be end to them for such a move as changing working hours.
- Houshalter 11y agoWhat are you talking about? I never suggested that was a good idea. I just said it would have the same effect. I was trying to explain the purpose of daylight savings time, because you didn't seem to understand it. My original comment was just saying that "permanent daylight savings time" is nonsensical. Since you bring it up, I do find it absolutely horrifying that we rely on the government to mandate that people miscalibrate their clocks once a year. Instead of businesses and stuff doing the right thing and moving their schedules back so people can have more afternoon time. But unfortunately that's the world we live in.
