This was never the reason. It was to do with factories saving on electric lighting during WWI, by getting their workers out an hour earlier. Then after WWII we just kept it going for some reason
I never understood this argument because farmers are the least likely job to use the clock to tell them when to work… The idea of a farmer waiting for 8am to clock in is ridiculous.
It’s nothing to do with farmers. I don’t know where people got that idea.
Farmers get up when it’s daylight and you can see, what time it is isn’t relevant. It’s not like the animals know what daylight saving is so if they don’t get fed when they expect it, they’ll kick up a fuss.
That’s a myth. Farmers in the US lobbied against the change. Animals and crops don’t care about the time, so it just meant they had to start work earlier on the clock.
Apparently this was a myth, but I’m against it, I voted in CA to pass a law where we don’t have to do it and yet we still do. No one wants day light savings time
Studies have shown more health benefits for more people sticking to Standard time, despite widespread resistance. Personally, I’m all for permanent Standard time, but I’ll take DST if it is the only way to kill the switch.
I think we should have four clock switches per year.
In northern Europe an hour isn’t enough to make a difference regarding daylight, the winter days get really short up here. Initially it’s okay but then as the winter drags on you start to find that it’s still dark in the mornings again so really we should have the clocks move forwards and back every three months.
Obviously that would be kind of unnecessary in the US outside of the Alaska.
If you check farmers’ out they can still do the same amount of work in daylight hours.
Daylight savings’ history is actually more white than you think. The law was passed by politicians that just wanted to golf earlier. Farmers are commonly used as the excuse because every accusations is a confession.
There used to be a reason, for farmers to have more light in the morning.

Political propaganda
It gave them more day light in the morning
It’s got nothing to do with farmers. So whether or not farmers find daylight savings useful (I think the split is roughly 50/50) is irrelevant.
All of it is irrelevant now. Especially in CA where we voted not to have it anymore and yet they keep doing it.
Well California is the entire planet as we all well know, so I guess it’s conversation over then.
Because the hens, pigs and cows came out an hour early, right?
I have zero clue, I guess they can feed them in day light. For fuck sakes who cares tbh.
I guess any kid in school fucking cares that their politicians set the clock after when cows want to be milked.
How does it give them more daylight? The amount of hours between sunrise and sunset is not dependent on our clocks.
I said in the morning, not total hours of daylight
That’s a myth. Farmers in the US lobbied against the change. Animals and crops don’t care about the time, so it just meant they had to start work earlier on the clock.
Why cant farmers just set their alarm an hour earlier though, no need to drag everyone else into this

No I want permanent daylight savings. I want to spring forward and not fall back.
But let’s have spring forward every year, let’s make it real confusing. In 6 years 9am will be in the middle of the afternoon.

Studies have shown or studies suggest?

Sorry, let me rephrase, no more time change and spring forward would be my choice
