You know, I have a better idea then! Let's have DST year round! It both saves the hassle of moving the clock, and gives you the extra hour of sunlight in the winter months as well as summer months!
- mrweasel 8y agoRussia tried going DST only, they had to switch back to winter time only because people hated summer time in the winter. May a better idea would be winter time only in Northen Europe and symmer time only when you get further south.
- creeble 8y agoWe did that once: https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/10/30/the-year-daylight-saving-time-went-too-far/ https://www.mercurynews.com/2016/10/30/the-year-daylight-sav... I'm surprised it's unmentioned here. My recollection was that a kid got hit by a bus in the morning, and that ended that.
- romwell 8y agoThank you! I didn't know about that. Sounds awesome, if you ask me. As a kid, I didn't care in the slightest what the world was like in the morning, but getting home from school in the dark made for pretty tiresome winters. I think the children were used as an excuse to push something the legislators wanted yet again.
