we can argue about whether daylight or standard time is better until the cows come home but I think the real problem here is that our workdays are so long that either way, no one actually gets to enjoy much daylight in the winter months. like the heart of the debate is really “do you want your one (1) hour of usable winter sunlight to happen before or after the other 8+ hours are wasted to capitalism?”. I wouldn’t mind a 4 PM sunset if I could get out of work in time to actually enjoy it (Your picture was not posted)

I would pitch a fit if we're stuck with DST permanently (GIVE ME BACK MY HOUR!! I didn't consent to its being taken away even temporarily!) but that's still a good point. The 8-hour workday is right up there with DST on the "we should really improve on that" list.

Personally, I am holding out hope for the sci-fi solution: where's my cure for axial tilt, already? :D
