Oh, well, I mean, study after study has shown permanent daylight time is terrible for childrens’ development, but if it’s convenient for you I guess we should lol
Not sure where they did this study, but around here, kids that have to be at school for 8:00 are going in during the dark regardless of DST or not. Plus, they already delayed the switch by nearly a month “for the children” so they are not out in the scary dark for Halloween. So which is it?
The 24 hour clock that zeros at midnight is entirely artificial. How can numbers we made up be bad for your health?
We’re talking about offsetting human activity with sunrise and sunset, right? And we do this by changing the clocks everywhere in a time zone twice a year such that the rule “The business opens at 9 AM and closes at 5 PM” remains the same, but how far those events are from local solar noon sloshes back and forth a bit.
So, hold the clocks still, pick what times it is healthy for school to start and end, and then start and end school at those times. 8 to 3? 7 to 2? 9 to 4? Who gives a shit what the numbers actually are?
Moving the clocks back and forth gives everyone everywhere jet lag twice a year, which isn’t good for anyone’s health.
It’s never been proper solar time from the beginning. The timezone boundaries are distorted to align with political boundaries, which messes up any alignment with solar time.
Just don’t do permanent DST. It’s bad for our health, it’s bad for kids, and it doesn’t make sense.
Just do proper solar time.
Times can be adjusted. The problem isn’t the time at which things happen, it’s that it cycles back and forth,
No thanks. I’m headed to work in the dark regardless if it’s DST or Standard. Let me at least see the sun on my way home.

On the solstice sure, but you still increase the number of days per year when that happens.
Daylight in the morning is critical for circadian rhythm.
