Title text:
All discussions of daylight saving time policy are doomed by a mix of contradictory, inconsistent, and impossible preferences, which is why I think the only thing we can really hope to do is to make it worse.

Dumb. Much better idea is to split the daylight into 12 equal chunks and the night into 12 equal chunks so we have 24 hours a day 12 of which are light and 12 of which are dark.
It’s so simple. We just got to change the definition of an hour everyday.
*twice every day
Twice a day or once a day for the day hours length vs night length hours. Also for every latitude as well. What a simple system
An 8 h work day during the winter flies by, but the lunch hour is only long enough for one bite sandwich. On the other hand, 12 h of night is plenty enough for all my hobbies.
In the summer, work devours your entire life and there’s hardly any time to sleep.
Just normalize 4h work days :D
Sounds good to me. In this case, 4 flexible hours of work in the summer means about 6 fixed length hours. In the winter those 4 flexible hours translate to about 2 fixed length hours, so I think I’ll have plenty of time for my hobbies.
One can dream of such a beautiful future
This is exactly what I was thinking. Smaller working hours. Or at least smaller around the peak of summer and winter.
