    You do realize, the sun isn’t hanging in there for an hour longer, just because we on earth made a change to some kind of time keeping device? We will still have 24h hours a day and the sun will still shine the amount of time it shines.

    Edit: I see a couple of downvotes. Could some one give some arguments?

        I would argue, this is a bit of a different can of worms. What I am arguing for is to keep the clock in sync with science and have 12 o’clock be roughly at the time, when the sun is in it’s zenith. We shouldn’t just switch back and forth on the clock just because we feel like it, because then what is the point? The amount of sun we get in a day on any given longitude will not change just because we are dialing back and forth a time measurement device.

        So have a summer schedule and a winter schedule with the bossman.

        Why does some people’s employment issues have to be every person’s problem?

          If your life is so flexible that time doesnt even matter, why do you care at all?

            What? Where did I say that?

            I’m saying that instead of the entire population having to change every single clock backwards and forwards every year. So that’s children, the sick, retired people, students, workers, unemployed, aristocrats, the fucking lot, everyone. That’s every computer, every clock, every embedded system.

            Instead of that, jobs just say come in at 7 - 3 for half the year and 8 - 4 for the other half. Is that really such a difficult concept for them to adopt?

              And you said it in response of someone that is against turning the clock. It reads as if you support switching times and that I should just go to work later of I have an issue with it.
