To be fair: If you live in the south, it doesn’t make much sense, but if you live a bit further north it’s the difference between getting up when the sun is a a reasonable place, or getting up in the middle of the night (winter) or the middle of the day (summer). I want it to be light out when I’m awake, not when it’s sleeping time.

Turns out it’s easier to adjust the clock than to say “work starts at 9 in the winter and at 8 in the summer”

I wouldn’t mind moving forward an hour permanently, but first light at 3 AM with a 4:30 sunrise fucking blows. I’d much rather have it be light until 9 than 8, and I suspect way more people are still awake until 9 than those who get up around 4.
