DST has no purpose whatsoever when the days are of equal lengths, and it only helps when there's a difference between summer and winter days. Extreme latitudes

Extreme latitudes should benefit the most from any manipulation of the time of day, but they don't, which hints that this whole thing is based on bullshit.
- wil421 10y agoHow would an extreme latitude benefit from shifting an hour in the summer? If you're having 24hr of daylight how's switching the time going to help. The purpose of DST is to have daylight last "longer" in the evenings of the summer.
