I hate time change.
My goal for these blogs is NOT to rant all the time, but to yap about things I find interesting.
That said, time change is useless.
The United States first adopted DST in 1918, it was unpopular and repealed after 7 months of its existence.
During WW2, it was brought back. Roosevelt called it War Time.
After WW2, there was no national law governing DST, so it was chaotic, being solidified as standard across the US, in 1966.
My issue is fundamentally, there is NO need to change the clock. At all. Sure if we kept standard time, it would get darker earlier in the winter, BUT WHO CARES? Farmers are gonna get up when they need to. Businesses can change hours. It is just ultimately useless to change the clocks.
In 2023, 34% of the world observed DST. And the trend of DST is declining. It simply doesnt make sense anymore. I believe it is time we revert to normal time, and do away with this nonsense.
But by all means, lets change time itself rather than normal operating hours, or not at all.
