> Not everyone has a telework job. And many who do still have to be available during "business hours”. Yes, and DST doesn’t help with that either. My point was simply that those are things which actually change the time available for many millions of people whereas in the winter the time change just controls whether it’s darker in the morning or evening without changing the number of hours. Right now, I have a little over 9 hours of daylight. DST offsets can change whether that starts earlier or later but it doesn’t add more time so if we shift the start so fewer people are going to work in the dark, more people will be going home in the dark. If we don’t do things like add before/aftercare for kids, too, then many people won’t even have the option of adjusting their schedules to optimize the available daytime.
