DST was established in the context of anemic government trying to show extensive reach/control over the economy at a time where it had very little (arguably it still does today but only because most governments have matured to represent their most powerful class). As if to say “We determine the clocks that industry schedules by”
farmers? the people who have to do things by daylight hours regardless what any authority around them counts as the time? they’re the ones that need daylight saved?
very convincing and condescending. now everyone reading is wholly swayed in favor of daylight savings. job well done. farmers need it because people who don’t want it clearly aren’t farmers. brilliant.
It was never about farming, it’s bad for farmers. The farming lobby fought it off for years before the Chamber of Commerce rammed it through, with big assists from the golf and bbq industries. Then Big Candy successfully lobbied to get it extended to include Halloween.

LOL explain how pigs and corn give a fuck about what time it is?
In Canada, one of the biggest farming provinces is also the only one that doesn’t have DST, and they seem to be ok. I think.
