Daylight savings exists for an entirely practical reason: so that we can enjoy daylight hours after we get home from work.

- tjoff 14y agoWhich, depending on where you live, is absolute nonsense. Russia just abandoned DST and the rest of the world should too.

- dade_ 14y agoI agree that DST works well in the summer, but let's not bother switching back in the winter. We would get all of the advantages of DST, without the expense of time changes. It really would be better to have the last glimpse of sun at the end of the day work day during winter. Saskatchewan is on to something here!
- eli_gottlieb 14y agoIn not-even-especially northerly places that would mean during deep-winter the sun doesn't rise until 8-8:30am.
- philwelch 14y agoNeither do I.
- mikeash 14y agoThis would be far better accomplished by simply adjusting working hours rather than adjusting the time zone offset.
