Why are there no paragraphs in my post? (Or the preview) sigh. I guess I have to go read the probably overly-special slashdot regulations on carriage returns.
Nope. Daylight savings is a good thing.
First of all, it has nothing to do with farmers. That's some stupid old myth by people who oppose it.
What it's all about is having people get more sunlight in their daily lives. (Hence; "Daylight Savings".) Increasing sunlight exposure increases productivity, it increases productuction of vitamin D, and, dare-I-say; happiness. Inarguably.
If you're going to do that, you have to do it federally (well, globally). For example- if you have a company and you say "sure, I'll just have my employees come in an hour later and leave and hour later". Well, no, that doesn't work if other companies aren't doing that too. You end up with a bunch of voicemail because of those two hours of gaps with other companies.
So it has to be done at a federal level- no- a global level.
Um why are there no paragraphs here in the preview?
Sorry but I'm a programmer, and yea it's a headache, but DST (sunlight) is a good thing. Deal with it.
