The time change; good, bad, or meh?

[Remy]

I don't understand the seemingly widespread hatred for daylight savings time. What's the big deal? Life goes on regardless.

I worked 12 hour shifts for 10 years. That hour ahead sucked big time.

It's like taking a blanket, cutting a foot off the top, sewing the piece onto the bottom and then thinking you have a longer blanket. There's no "daylight savings"......you're going to lose an hour of daylight somewhere.....

I would like to be on standard time all year.
It takes me two or three days to adjust to a sleep pattern.

I dislike changing clocks twice a year for no good reason.

I also think it's backwards - have DST in winter and Standard in summer. Here, in late June and early July, it doesn't get dark until almost 10 pm. In late December and early January, it's dark by 4 pm.

I hate Daylight Savings Time.

As did I, the hour you get back made up for it

"good, bad, or meh?"

I'm going with a 4th option; unnecessary.

DST has been completely unnecessary for about 2 centuries.

Canada, Central Standard Time. We don't change.

Time change is un-necessary & unwanted. I mean, I'm more than happy to help the farmers in Northern Scotland, but am unsure how that works from my location in Southern California.

Every year it seems like there's some buzz about changing to one time plan, but nothing ever comes from it.

I’m in the meh category

I loved it as a kid. Supper at 6. Those long summer evenings when we could stay out until dark. Kick the can at dusk.

I HATE the damned time change. Some jackass thought time changes were going to save fuel and energy in WWI. They also came up with the great plan to attach bombs to pigeons. And, now, 100 years later, the jackasses in Congress haven't figured out, time changes are a waste of time- one hour!
