Daylight Saving Time Is Not the Enemy. Standard Time Is

[Josquius]

Why can't we all not just use GMT.

As in, just one time for the whole world, and localities just adjust to match local daylight hours?

Probably more confusing than it is worth.

Probably. But it would help break the tyranny of 9-5.

9-5?  I call that vacation.

I'm for keeping DST all year round. But then again I'm a night owl and my mornings are miserable regardless of the amount of daylight.

Pretty much my position as well.  I'd rather have extra daylight in the evening after getting off work than in the morning before going to work.

Why can't we have both?

GMT all the time and all the way.

GMT all the time and all the way. 

It would work, as it worked before, only for Western Europe. Besides the UK and Portugal (not including the Azores), this would mean Spain, France and Belgium back to the fold, as before 1940 (l'heure allemande) or 1942 (Spain).
I really don't think the Brexit is going to help to switch back to GMT/UTC though.

Indeed.

Hey, what's the deadline on that?

[KRonn]

Pick a time and stick with it I say.

I emphatically agree! I know some legislators and others in Massachusetts and the North East have been talking about it but so far I don't know how much consensus on the issue has been made. The idea would be for all the New England states and possibly New York to make the move to remain on one time, given how interconnected and close these states are.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre

Yes, we need daylight saving all the time. No one should care if the sun gets up at 9 am in the winter.

[Valmy]

Yes, we need daylight saving all the time. No one should care if the sun gets up at 9 am in the winter.

I think the opposite. It is safer to have light during people's commutes. Standard time all the time would be better.

But hey, either way is alright. Just pick one.

Around here, it's dark in both commutes anyway. We would go from 50/50 Dark light to a 80/20 in the morning & about the same split at night.
