I just don't understand why we have to change clocks instead of all just agreeing to get up an hour earlier.
I mean, it's really not like most people clock in at 08:00 sharp at the factory gate anymore. Where's the problem if school starts a half hour earlier in summer? If one colleague wants more daylight in winter, they should be able to just come in 1-2 hours early and leave early.
I voted for this in the EU referendum YEARS ago, and they just kinda were like "lol, no. Fuck you". Really happy (part of) Canada got it's shit together, but damn, I'm envious. Changing clocks gives me splitting headaches for 2 days every time.
Literally none of the institutions which start at a fixed time (6-9 am) will offset their schedule by one hour. These things are literally written in stone. They don't give a single fuck where the sun is, school starts at 08:30 and work starts at 09:00, from now until the end of western civilization, because doing otherwise would be a logistical inconvenience and sleep disorders are not their problem.
Permanent ST = 1 hour less sunlight after school/work. It's unavoidable unless you have the luxury of making your own schedule, at which point timezone does not matter to you so why are you crusading for the working man to be forever cursed to only see the sun from a cubicle? (I could live with permanent DST but that doesn't seem like the road we'll be going down)
