    Come to New England and see if you still have the same opinion. The sun sets before 4 pm some days of the year. Standard time can go fuck itself.

      I live in CT. Usually when we do a study on getting rid of DST (studies which never go anywhere) it’s about moving to Atlantic standard time, which would be essentially DST year round, rather than EST

        Can’t speak for CT but this is definitely the correct timezone for anyone east of Worcester. People legit have no idea how bad it is.

          Or I refuse to redefine natural time to fit the whims of capitalist beaurocracy that doesn’t want to adjust itself for human needs but instead wants to adjust time itself.

            Have fun living in your fucking anarchic fantasy land. I’ll be over here raising my kids with circadian rhythms.

      Yep. We should stay on “spring forward” time, which I believe is DST, year-round. No more stupid changing the clocks, and it may not be dark when you go to AND get off work if you do a regular schedule during the winter. The extra hour of sunlight is just a great summer bonus.

      If they end time changing but keep us on the current time, I’m going to be fucking pissed.

            For what school there was. Back then, I was helping out on my dad’s ranch. He had to sell it for medical money recently. Ranch was in the family for 170 years, and bam! lost to the greed of the rich.
