Am I the only one that thinks staying in summer time is insane?
The clock face is not arbitrary. Midday is the middle of the day. Midnight is the middle of the night. (To the nearest hour.) If we abandon these conventions, anything left is entirely arbitrary, and having time zones at all seems like a huge complication vs a single global time zone.
We can all get more light in the “evening” by shifting the conventional hours for work and life backwards a bit.
Abandoning timekeeping conventions instead just so that we can start work at some arbitrary number on the clock seems crazy.
