>What is the argument FOR keeping DST?
Where I am at right now its DST and sun up is 7am and sundown is around 7pm. Without DST it would be 6am to 6pm. I think the average person gets more use of the sun from 6pm-7pm than they do at 6-7am. A decent chunk of the population is sleeping until 7am and virtually nobody is sleeping from 6-7pm.
That doesn't really support switching away from DST in the winter. So I'd rather stay on DST all the time. But if its between never DST and DST half the year, I pick half the year.
- Jolter 5y agoAll you’re arguing for is that business hours could/should be variable between summer and winter. Don’t you realize there is no need to change the clock setting to solve your problem?
- rhino369 5y agoCoordinating employers, schools, shops, etc. to change their hours is incredibly hard—-unless you just change the clock by law. And even if you could coordinate all that, it would have the same effect as day light savings. So why not just do it the easy way.
