So what if the clock says 4:30 am? It's the same time in that you're working the same daylight. All removing it would do for you is change the number on your clock, but for the people who work on set schedules it would change our needing to fuck with our sleep schedules twice a year

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.
