No, not exactly. We work on set schedules too for the most part. I have employees who have lives outside of their work. With daylight savings we start work at the same time everyday. If we'd remove it, then I have to ask them to come in an hour early during harvest. I also have a life outside my farm. I have kids who have to get to school in the morning.
I agree that changing the clocks is bad. All I am saying is do not get rid of daylight savings time. Get rid of standard time. Let's stay on daylight savings forever, so both farmers and non-farmers are happy.
Does it really matter which time it is? If it says 4:30 or 5:30 on the clock, that doesn't change anything related to the work being done, so the choice between daylight savings and standard time isn't particularly important.
I currently need to be at work at 9. I don't care if the clock says 8 or 10, I just need to know when to be at work.
I think all the complaining about which time to use is really silly, I honestly do not care which we choose, provided we eliminate changing clocks. Just pick one. Flip a coin, I honestly don't care.
I've always thought why not just split the difference, set it 30 minutes in between and leave it permanently.
Sure. Just pick one. I don't care what the clock says when the sun comes up or is at its zenith, I just care that the time doesn't change overnight.
