Arizona doesn't observe DST and hasn't since 1968. It works great, and the rest of the country should follow suit, IMO. We're no longer a nation of farmers whose work depends on daylight.
- bena 9y agoIt was never about the farmers. It was always about saving fuel during wartime. Farmers dislike DST.

He wanted some time after work to look at insects, and because of that we have DST. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Hudson_(entomologist) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Hudson_(entomologist)
- squiggleblaz 9y agoThat's unreasonable. Lots of people advocate for bad ideas. But George Hudson was never in any politically powerful position. It took others to introduce daylight savings. Notwithstanding, I am pleased we have daylight savings. It makes me happy and seems like an appropriate and proportionate response to the variation in length of the day.
- blang 9y agoFrom what I understand farmers hate DST more than anyone. They tend to wake up at dawn and shifting the time an hour gives them an hour less time until the rest of the area wakes.
