If you live in the northern part of the country, you love daylight saving. Our days are so short in the winter that extra hour in the afternoon would be nice.

You do know you don't actually gain daylight, right? Like, it just moves. You know that right? So, maybe wake your azz up a little earlier...or sleep a little later...or whichever one seems to fit your agenda at the time.

Point being, for everyone who wants it in the morning, there's someone else who wants it in the evening. And the issue at hand is, having daylight savings time only makes about 50% of the people happy while making it a beating for about 100% of the people.

My dad who was a dairy farmer hated the time change with a passion, it took the cows a week or better to adjust. Dad would say daylight saving time was made for the Drs and lawyers so they could play golf longer in the summer time
Yeah it had nothing to do with farmers and it never made sense to me. Sun up until sundown was the same no matter what time it was

I HATE the hour change...it is so annoying.

And I have never thought "Wow, now I can play golf until 7:15pm" like, how often does that even impact people?

Milk production schedule gets out of whack I'm assuming. Animals don't know how to just suck it up and adjust. They're on a schedule that gets disrupted. I've never had dairy cows, but I've heard of other animals that get their eating all out of whack when the time changes.
It’s not a problem. IF the dairyman was really that worried about it, he could change the milking time 15-20 minutes over 4-5 days.

Relieved to see our leaders are focused on the crucial issues of our existence. Personally I like it being dark in the fall when I get off, it's a great excuse to be lazy after all the work of summer is wrapped up. Other than that, IDGAF. Current state of politics:

My dad would disagree with you. Now todays world with mega dairys the cows are a issue because they probably don’t move them very far

Plus, with the mega dairys they probably just have a quick meeting with the cows to let them know that daylight savings is coming up and HR takes care of any issues.

I live in the north and hate daylight savings, particularly during summer nights. There is no good reason to have natural light in the sky at 10:00 pm.

Shifting clock times during the winter doesn't actually do anything -- natural light is natural light, no matter what time the clock says it is. I prefer so-called "extra light" in the morning but others prefer at the end of the day. Six of one; half dozen of the other.

Let's set the clocks and forget them, either on standard or DSL. This shouldn't be hard.
