antsays...Leave it at daylight saving!
ChaosEnginesays...This. I love that I can go for a bike ride after work in the summer.
Leave it at daylight saving!
sanderbossays...Here's a vote for daylight saving time (with bi-yearly switch) from the Netherlands (mentioning the latitude is important I guess):
With all year standard time, it would become light at 3:30 in the morning in June (with accompanying waking bird sounds). How many extra deaths would that get from sleepy car drivers.
With all year daylight savings (which I would opt for if forced to choose, long evenings FTW indeed), in December it would only get light at 10:00 am...
The people most common complaint against the switch is that people who like it just have to change their daily routine on their own, but that's not really possible with standard work, shop opening etc. hours.
sixshotsays...We can solve this bullshit idea with one of two solutions:
1) move EVERYONE 1 hour ahead. Yes. EVERYONE. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. Move it or lose it.
2) GET RID OF IT! Stop forcing us to do pointless hour shifting when it has no real benefit at all.
jimnmssays...Instead of changing clocks to get an extra hour of daylight after work, why not just leave the time alone and change "normal" working hours from 9-5 to 8-4? One place I worked I had the hours of 7-3. I loved those hours. It was nice to get off at 3pm and still have plenty of daylight to do things.
yellowcsays...I never understood 9-5, do they include breaks as part of your 8hrs work in USA? We don't get paid to survive, it's like 9-530 or 9-6.

jimnmssays...It depends on where you work. I know some people that work 9-5 with a paid lunch, but they're generally on salary. Most people don't get paid breaks and work hours are 8-5, 8:30-5:30, 9-5:30 or 9-6.
