Surely schedules would adjust, right? In northern latitudes I commonly see different summer hours for shops for instance, it's about time middle latitudes adopt this simple strategy instead of abrupt time changes.
- pkulak 5y agoAdjusting schedules is exactly what switching clocks around does. For example, you can't adjust school schedules and keep kids from walking to school in the dark without also changing work and daycare schedules, which means coffee shops have to change schedule, etc.
- xvedejas 5y agoSwitching clocks changes the schedule only by one hour, in a one-size-fits-all fashion. Even at 30deg north, summer and winter sunrises are multiple hours apart. This is why summer and winter schedules for businesses are multiple hours apart in far northern areas. Somehow enough coordination is managed organically.
