No. Permanent dlst is the good choice. Getting home at 5pm after it's already dark sucks ass for kids and adults both.

Those professionals can go fuck themselves... In the dark cause itll be dark if they get their way.

So... it would be dark before/after work even more than our current system where we change it 2x every year? Fuck that.

So would permanent standard time, but with fewer side effects.

Canadian health researchers are urging the country to choose permanent standard time over permanent daylight saving time if it ends the twice-yearly clock change, warning that darker winter mornings could harm sleep and mental health.

Maybe we let people have more flexibility. Stop thinking that we all need to dance at the same time like a bunch of puppets.

Yes exactly start work sunrise +1h, end work dusk -1h or 9h later which ever is shorter. We are humans not machines.

Yes we do now and since we’re in the trap maybe we stop struggling and let people start work later in the winter instead of flopping hours back and forth.

Adding flexibility will likely reduce negative health outcomes more than either strategy to attempt to line up a fake thing like the “hour” to a real thing like the sun.

But my actual, personal solution will be never to use hours or minutes again someday.
