    No daylight is cut short, jfc. There’s exactly the same amount of daylight either way.

      The number of hours of daylight is irrelevant, since I’m sure most people would benefit from later sunsets than earlier sunrises.

      Kids especially, who you wouldn’t expect to be waking up at 5am just to catch more daylight hours.

        You mean waking up at a regular time relative to the sun?

        Why does the clock saying the number 5 matter? Why is it so important the clock says a certain number when you wake up?

          It’s not about when you wake up, but when you go to sleep.

          As I mentioned previously, fewer hours of daylight at the end of the day negatively impacts a lot of people, summer community events, leisure activities, pedestrian safety, etc.

          What benefit would we gain by getting rid of daylight savings?

              I’m not sure if you even understand what you’re writing.

              Can you explain how going to bed earlier gives you more daylight at the end of the day?

                Because you wake up earlier, start work earlier, and get home earlier.

                  You can keep repeating that, but waking up earlier doesn’t change what time the sun goes down at night.

                  Very few people have the option to “start work earlier”, or start school earlier. They work when they work.

                  It really seems like a lot of effort to compensate, when it requires no effort the way it is.

                    We literally do it twice a year already! Holy fuck

                    What I’m proposing is to do it ONCE and then nobody ever has to worry about it ever again!
