Even the FARMERS hate it, even though it’s ostensibly for them.
I recall reading a Reddit thread on /r/farming where they were all bitching about how fucking pointless and stupid it is, with one user commenting “My work day starts when the sun rises, and the sun doesn’t care what our fucking clocks say what time it is”
People say it’s for farmers, but obviously that’s nonsense. The intention was to reduce energy use, by shifting things so when people get off work they spend more time outside instead of inside using energy.
Also because the guy who came up with it wanted to spend more time catching bugs iirc.
Also if it has any effect on energy use it’s unclear which direction and it’s less than 1% either way, which is not enough to justify the increased car accidents, heart attacks, etc. that happen every time we shift the clocks.
