People with young kids do not want daylight savings time all year around because it would be dark when they go to school. People like myself would like dst all year around because we hate it being dark at 4pm.

    I hate this argument. Sorry.

    Just start school later. The day is the same either way, choose to have school hours or winter hours.

    And by the way, even if it is dark, so what? There are kids all over the world that go to school in the dark it really doesn't matter.

    Just shift you schedule accordingly, the number really doesn't matter much.

    Yeah I don't find especiall persuasive myself but let me tell you. You want to control a population then make sure they have kids. Because nothing is going to matter for that person at that point over their kids (or most people anyway). So voting wise anyway you basically have this large group that are going to go ape trump on anyone suggesting it. Changing the school day has issues because its time has to fit with parents major work schedules. so the 9 to 5. The school day starts just after 8 partially so they can drop off the kids then go to work. No idea how they are picking them up but I can say my wfh places was pretty easy going with parents being on meetings while in the car picking up kids or taking 20 mins to do it.
