> Daylight savings isn't messing with anyone's life, it's changing the arbitrary read-out on a human-invented device, nothing more.
If you work or have kids in school, you need to adjust your sleep pattern to match the readout on that human-invented device. Look at small children and retirees: DST does not affect them because they wake up whenever they want to. Seems to me that the root problem is that businesses and schools demand people arrive at work the same time regardless of sunlight conditions. It's stupid that billions of people change their measuring devices twice a year instead of just having businesses pick "summer hours" and "winter hours".
Amen. DST feels a lot like trying to combat obesity by changing the kilogram, so that everyone weighs the same. It doesn't affect people's actual weights, just like how DST doesn't affect the amount of daylight we receive.
