Where I live we have DST and stores change their hours during winter, the worst of both worlds! And yes, it would effectively be exactly what we have right now

Where I live we have DST and stores change their hours during winter, the worst of both worlds!
And yes, it would effectively be exactly what we have right now, though I'm not sure that weakens my argument. I just think it's goofy to move an hour around every year. Everybody's clocks change so business don't have to change their hours? Certainly shows where the power lies in our society...
- taeric 7y agoThat does sound silly. Why do they change hours? Does it happen at the same time as the clock change? Honestly, we never even know about leap seconds. And we add a full day every four years. Both are arguably similar. If is was just more frequent smaller changes, I'd wager we wouldn't care.
- calibas 7y agoEverything slows down here during winter and many business have reduced hours. They switch hours at different times, I assume they choose the dates because of the snow. And our measurements of time are already imprecise, no need to make it even more complicated by adding DST.
