Daylight Savings Time. A poll.

[hog88]

I don't mind getting up earlier. I'd much rather have 3 hours of daylight when I get home from work.

Same. I like being able to get all my chores done in the evenings during the week so my weekend is free.

I've learned to put off my chores indefinitely during the week and have my weekends free.

I don’t mind getting up earlier either….as long as it is my choice and not a governmental mandate.

Impossible. You've already conditioned your woman to expect you to get things done.

Your window for learning a better way is closed forever.

Apparently the number of heart attacks and strokes increases around the resetting of the clocks each year. It messes with circadian rhythms.

It is called „standard“ time for a reason. It is the regular and default way to keep time in the closest approximation of actual solar position. Anything else is not „standard“ but by definition, artificial or contrived.
All Daylight Saving Time is can be boiled down to the fact that you merely get up an hour earlier each day.
So my vote remains to keep standard time and to keep it year round.

Very well then, flip the names.

Make DST the new and improved ST.

Eliminate the old ST.

You do understand the astronomical basis of standard time don’t you? Flipping the names does nothing to change the earth‘s rotation.
