I'd just as soon be done with the whole thing. I don't know if it ever really helped but I certainly don't think it serves any purpose now.
Pretty much everyone agrees that we all hate it and it needs to be stopped. It started for crop harvesting purposes in the olden days before light bulbs were invented, am I remembering that correctly?
For decades people have been begging for this to stop. But government has been so damn slow & inefficient & useless about it.
Last November or December, you know those months when the hours of daylight are agonizingly short, like only 9 or 10 hours of daylight, I got in a conversation with a couple of colleagues in the break room about this and we researched the current sunset / sunrise times,
we did some quick math and realized that even if the govt abolished the clock change, the best we could do is have the sun rise at 7am and set at 5pm. Which would still be super depressing because we're all stuck at work during those hours. We want to at least see the sunset when we leave work in the evening, just to feel alive & human for a brief moment, but in winter it's so depressing to leave work and it's pitch black like midnight outside even though it's only 6:30pm 🤣 Yes my work day ends at 6:30pm.
Bottom line is those winter months are dark & depressing as hell and no artificial clock adjustments can ever remedy that.
But yeah the government needs to get off its ass and abolish this useless time-change practice.
