I remain steadfast in my position that people who support year-round DST are utterly clueless and have not done the evaluation of what that means to kids going to school in the morning in winter.
- standardUser 5y agoCare to share your evaluation, and how it compares to implications for crime and traffic accidents in the evening hours? Or did you already accomplish your goal of calling a large number of people you've never met "utterly clueless"?
- kevinpet 5y agoRight now in California sunrise in winter is around 7-7:30am. Many schools start as early as 7:15am, and most start by 8:15. Moving to year round DST would mean changing from some kids starting school right at sunrise to most kids walking to school in the dark. I chose my wording carefully. I don't think I can persuade you and I don't seek to persuade you. In my opinion, intentionally choosing a timezone deliberately offset from the historic and natural meaning of 12pm ~= noon, which requires significant support which I have never seen.
