DST doesn’t control how long the sun is out. Changing it won’t give you any extra sunlight.

Do you not understand people working day shifts at set hours and that those hours don’t change with the clocks

Yeah, and that’s what needs to change, not the clocks themselves.

Oh okay that’s easy, I’ll just change the open hours of every business and school in the country, that’s super simple, way easier than hitting the “shift everything an hour” button

Yes but I can’t change when work hours are, businesses are open, or people want to do things. And I’d rather have more sunlight after work.

It does mean that, from our perspective, daylight appears to extend later in the day, though? That’s the point?

The extra sunlight comes from the time the sun is up but you’re sleeping. It’s there for the experiencing.

Yes, I’m aware. But I’d like to come out of work and not have 15 minutes of sunlight left, and that’s not something that comes down to my own choices

Yeah but the clocks control when I do my activities more than the sun does, and I want that sunlight to be after I get off work

Go to sleep earlier, get up earlier. Relative to the sun those would actually be at the same time anyway. Yes capitalism affects when you can do such things based on work schedule, but that’s what needs to change, not the clocks.

Yeah let’s just hit the “change capitalism” button, because that’s so much easier
