What the heck is with the daylight saving time change?? I mean it is so random! I never really understood it, I just assumed it had something to do with keeping time, you know the moon and the sun, 365 days a year and all that. Well obviously it doesn’t because the government keeps randomly changing it around. It makes no sense? Why do we even bother having it??
Parts of Canada do not even observe the daylight saving time change, they stay the same all year round and I just heard that in British Columbia they are changing it this year because they think it will be better for tourism to have the clocks change on Nov 4 instead of late October. WTF?
So basically they are screwing with our lives and our time, making our kids get grumpy because they are all jet lag type tired and for no good reason. Just because they think it is cool to control time or something. Honestly, this whole daylight saving time change makes no sense to me.
I don’t see why we can’t all be on the same time and forget about the daylight saving time change all together. If the world was all the same things would be so much simpler. If it was 1 o’clock over in Africa or Europe it would be 1 o’clock here to. So we would all go to work at different hours, it would not be called nine to five, but so what?? They’d still be going to work during daylight hours, I am not saying they should go to work in the middle of the night or anything. It would be better than this BS with the time always changing and getting everyone so annoyed and confused. Ba humbug! This is crap and I am really sick of it.
I would not be so pissed if the daylight saving time change made sense. But to be able to change time for tourism, seriously?? That is messed up.

My understanding is that Daylight Savings time is in place so that we fully utilize the daylight. The primary benefit to this is that each person would need to use less electricity each day. Instead of of waking up in the dark and turning on a light to get ready for the day, you can use the natural sunlight. Everyone saving a little electricty adds up quickly.
Also your idea of having no time zones is pretty crazy. Time zones allow us to have an established idea of what people at various locations in the world are doing. For example if you know its 4am in country X you are not going to call and wake them up. Granted you still have to keep track of time zones but thats better than having to know the location of every nation in the world.

Your not the only one, in Australia, half the states have it, half don’t and the amount of time you change the clock changes…
Probably because we are all drunk…!
