All this arguing about which time is better is exactly what Big Clock wants

Ok, I'm giving you a time out!

I work 6 am to 3 PM EST with a 35 minute commute, so I wake up at 4:45 AM. I haven't seen the sun rise in the morning in 20 years.

I’m doing 12 hour work days, 4:30 to 4:30.
Does anyone think I care what time the sun comes up while I’m inside sitting at my work desk? I just want to have some daylight left when I get home.

When Daylight Savings Time first took effect, the Native Americans thought we were stupid. They said it's like cutting a foot off the bottom of a blanket and sewing it onto the top

That’s because they didn’t have a clock to punch.
They could start & end their day as they saw fit.
If that were the case with me, I wouldn’t care either.

Time is messed up. They need to do something. I'm watching the San Diego State vs. Boise State game. The halftime show claims to be live from Happy Valley. It's 9:47pm Happy Valley time and it's light outside.

Not up north. Dark by 4pm.

Honestly. Staying in standard time makes more sense. And just waking up earlier, as needed.

I showed this graphically a few years back on this thread.

I live about five hours south of the Canadian border. Getting up earlier sounds good except I can't get off work earlier. On the solstice, sunset is at 4:30 around here. Or it could be 5:30. Giving us an hour or so of visibility. We're getting up in the dark either way.
