I’m in favor of abolishing it. This graphic doesn’t make it super clear but Daylight Saving Time gives millions of people more commutes in the dark per year than if we always used Standard Time. It’s a pretty significant difference.
Ok but people were saying with daylight savings they were going to work in the dark. I assume this is only for a short time after it happens because it seems backward otherwise. I have to say I really don’t pay much attention to it. It’s annoying when it transitions but then I’m used to it. Ultimately I don’t really care strongly either way. But if I had a choice, I would prefer to have as much daylight during daytime hours as possible.

But you commute home in the dark with Standard time in the winter, I find that more dispiriting than dark mornings.
Many people would disagree on which is more dispiriting, and there’s also the safety factor.
I thought the whole point of daylight savings time was to maximize daylight during working hours.
It was when farm labor predominated in America, but today’s work schedules for the vast majority aren’t farmer schedules.
