    Which one to choose is such a non-issue it shouldn’t even be discussed.

    It’s just a number on the clock. The day doesn’t actually get any longer or shorter, it doesn’t actually get darker any earlier, the only thing that changes is the number on the clock. So adjust your life based on the actual darkness. Start work an hour earlier, go to bed an hour earlier, etc etc and wow it’s exactly the same thing as you were doing before.

    I just can’t believe people even argue about this.

      No, it isn’t nothing. There’s been studies about it and previous experiences when winter time year-round was attempted.

      In fact, keeping summer time year-round causes more accidents, particularly more child mortality, because people are in the dark when they get up during winter. Of course, fuck them cars, and children should not go to school so early. But it’s just to show that’s it’s not the same either way.

        You typed all that and still don’t realize the problem is with the start time of school/work?
