Yeah I never understand why people argue for permanent DST so it can be lighter in the evening all year round. Is it because we're all stuck in the mindset that work has to be from 9 to 5, and your favorite show has to come on at 8pm?
- georgieporgie 15y agoAbsolutely. And who gets up at 4am? It puzzled me that it was dark in Tokyo by about 8pm in the summer, until I realized that the sun rises at a ridiculously early hour there. Great for fishmongers, not so great for modern business workers.
- jdthomas 15y agoYes! I also noticed this in Tokyo, I think they are just in the wrong timezone altogether. :)
- InclinedPlane 15y agoNot just work. Store and restaurant hours. Movie times. TV schedules. UPS pick up times. Everything. If everyone has to shift their schedules earlier you might as well just change the time, that way you save people from having to scrape off and repaint their store hours on their glass front doors.
