I bet the Vulcans never tried to "Save Daylight" by changing the clocks twice a year

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

The sun rising even later in the winter is far worse than rising earlier in the summer. It is also giving in to the idea that 'business hours', which are lopsided to after noon, needing to drive everyone's clocks instead of the sun.
9 to 5 or 8 to 5 business hours are the problem. Just make business hours an even 8 to 4 and you have the exact same evening hours as DST but mornings are not any later in the winter than they are with standard time.
You can't change business hours like that. It would require a lot more of a law to mandate anything of the sort.
I want more evening daylight so I can actually do things after I'm done with work. Changing to DST would make that easier. IDGAF about morning light. Others may want the opposite but I guess they are morning people.
If you're a morning person, you don't mind rising earlier, so DST is what you'd want. I'm an evening person, and I find it terrible to wake up at 6:30 while my biological clock says it's only 5:30.
You can't write laws for businesses, just for everyone else?
You do know that DST happens in the summer, right?
Yes. You cannot get a law through Congress that saws all office businesses change their start times. There isn't a law mandating that now, it's just convention. The very idea you can make sweeping changes like that without major pushback is silly.
Yes. But in Summer you have MORE light all the time. You don't have an issue with late sunrise and early sunset in the summer. You have that in winter. And my position is I'd like more sunlight in the evening rather than the morning. That's it.
