Alternatives to Daylight Saving Time?

Posted by timothy on from the even-ben-franklin-made-some-whoppers dept.

Wellington Grey writes "Daylight saving time almost upon us. The arguments about its possible benefits and drawbacks come up twice every year. Does it save energy or lives? Possibly, but it does definitely cause a great deal of inconvenience. My question is this: what do you think would be the best possible system to replace DST with? What is the best way for humans to deal with the inconsistent amount of light over the year and still foster coordination over disparate time zones?"

    Hell, I work in an office and can't "get to the bank to do my business" much less the podunk post office. The bank is open 10-5 and the Post office 9-3. Wish I could make a full time salary for those hours. Ever heard of saturdays?
