Something something broken clock is right twice a day…
in this case, the broken clock is spinning erratically, and is never correct.
A lot of people don't like daylight savings.
But a lot of them are misinformed. The current time is regular time. The time I assume sane people want to keep is "daylight saving time".
This could go quite badly if it's misinterpreted as staying on regular time year round, which is the opposite of what most people who say they want to get rid of DST want.
No, people just want to end the switching. I personally don't care if we stay UTC minus 5 or 6 for US/Central.
From the survey data I saw, summer time was much more popular than winter.
In order to have a preference on which time zone you will be in, you've already declared a preference for eliminating seasonal click adjustment.
Correct. And I wanted to add the stats were 50% summer time, 31% winter time, and 19% no opinion. How can you not care about something that affects your life so much?
It makes no difference to me if it's dark at 9pm or 10pm in the summer. In winter it's dark when I start and finish work. Shifting forward an hour just means that I'd be driving into a low setting sun.
If there is something I absolutely must do in daylight hours, I'll wait until the weekend or take a break for a couple of hours and work a little later
People arguing for it just care about eliminating the change. The direction doesn't really matter. The total amount of daylight remains the same.
From a survey- 50% prefer summer time, 31% winter time, 19% no preference.
