What are the points that lead you to this conclusion? Personally I'd prefer if DST was abolished by staying on Summer Time permanently, as I dislike the lack of light in the evening, and couldn't care less about the dark mornings, but mine is a purely selfish reasoning.
- eru 6y agoJust get up earlier? Moving around what we call the hours of the day doesn't change anything real.
- TuringTest 6y agoUnfortunately, business have a habit of maintaining the same opening schedules all year long, which means they open earlier in summer and later in winter (relative to the sun). You don't change the sun, but changing own habits relative to the clock is not an option for the majority of people - so if the clock changes, society follows.

- loloquwowndueo 6y agoI applaud your self-awareness and courage to say you’re selfish. No other comment - I just found that refreshingly non-controversy-seeking and honest.
- llampx 6y agoPeople are overwhelmingly selfish, they just don't like to mention it. Even in politics, people vote for their interests I'd say a vast majority of the time.
- da_big_ghey 6y agoSame way, I selfish want normal time. No daylight delay. Dislike one more hour after arising before sun appearing. Hate sit in dark fore much time. So I am vote opposing any daylight delay and only fore normal time all time. Fortunate on my arguments can support from studies. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26464461 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26464461
