    Daylight savings didn’t start, it ended and we’re back on the one correct time.

        Why not? Don’t live at a high latitude if you don’t like how the sun works. There shouldn’t be daylight at 10:00 in the summer, which is one of the many reasons why DST sucks.

        It’s dark early because it’s winter. DST sucks in summer, we should move the clock an hour backwards in summer, not forwards.

        You don’t need it to be light outside for another hour while you sit on your ass in the house eating junk food and getting left on read like 99% of Americans do irrespective of what color the sky is. I’d rather send commuters and schoolchildren out in the morning when the sun is already up, and then enjoy after-work activities with lower temperatures and less cancer-causing ultraviolet, reducing demand for sunscreens (and plastic/metal waste) and lowering the incidence of morning traffic collisions.

      In WW2, the UK ran on double DST. +2 in the summer, +1 in the winter.

      +1 is better all round.

        Invalid opinion. Who cares what the UK did with their clocks during the war? What bearing would that have on anything?
