What even is the point of being against Daylight Savings Time, anyway?
Because shifting the clock twice annually has health impacts and safety impacts.
It’s also a huge waste of time to implement these changes, all for no benefit.
I'm against it. There is no point to it. Just keep the clocks the same, no reason to change them. Not many other places in the world do it. We only did it because in the old old days, farmers needed more light.
Not only that, but not even every state here in the US does it anyway. So why make some do it?
It doesn't give anybody more light. The entire concept is ridiculous. The numbers on a clock are entirely arbitrary and there is not one single reason that we shouldn't all be running on a unified clock worldwide.
"It doesn't feel right to start my day at 7pm, even if that's when the Sun rises."
Well guess what, a huge portion of today's work force isn't working on a 9-5 schedule anyway. It would solve an absolutely enormous number of problems to have everybody working on the same clock, and suffer from the singular drawback of some dipshits hating it because it's different from what they grew up with.
