    It’s really not worth the hassle tho…

    Like, back when we had oil lamps and even when we first had electricity…

    Sure, why not do it?

    But now benefits are negligible, and the downsides like skyrocketing rates of early morning heart attacks are very real.

    There’s just no good reason to do it, and lots of reasons not to

      I heard somewhere (shit source I know, but I’m at work so not looking it up) that one of the main proponents of daylight savings is golf courses (and restaurants). They get more tee times in with more daylight. And since everyone that rules the world golfs for some damn reason, I don’t see it changing soon.

      it was never worth the hassle because its not for your benefit its for the benefit of your boss , you waking up earlier in winter gives your boss one extra hour of work from you in daylight
