100%

If instead of changing the clocks we staggered working hours or even just (crazy thought) offered flexibility with start and finish times it would also massively ease pressure on infrastructure like roads and public transport.

We spend so much money trying to get capacity to a point thats only needed for like 2-4 hours per day

I agree. why do we change the clocks when its just about changing schedules.

Change everyone's work schedule?

Yeah that wouldn't go smoothly at all.

Stores that close at 9 pm tonight would close at 8 pm when we go back to "standard" time.

Someone working 1 to 9 tonight would work 12 to 8.

So instead of changing the clock, you're going to change everyone's schedule

If I ate lunch at 12 to get to work at 1, now I have to eat at 11 to get to work at 12

And the purpose is so the store closes closely to the same daylight level throughout the year?

You’re already changing your schedule, you apparently just ignore it because we’ve arbitrarily moved the clock an hour in either direction.

used to be a common thing for shops to change their hours at different times of the year.

Time is a human construct. Not the other way around. We can make it whatever fucking time we want.

How we measure time is a human construct, but time is a very real phenomenon.

Sigh… I suppose I can’t fault you for being pedantic but that is what I was referring to.

Exactly. These farmers (who represent what portion of the population?) claim they need this in order to get their work done on time? Like bro, you own a farm. You can set your own schedule. You want the sun to be up when you wake up? Then set your alarm for that time. Jesus. What a stupid argument.

Edit: like farming existed before daylight savings time was a concept. And predates clocks. wtf
