    I never understood this argument because farmers are the least likely job to use the clock to tell them when to work… The idea of a farmer waiting for 8am to clock in is ridiculous.

      It’s nothing to do with farmers. I don’t know where people got that idea.

      Farmers get up when it’s daylight and you can see, what time it is isn’t relevant. It’s not like the animals know what daylight saving is so if they don’t get fed when they expect it, they’ll kick up a fuss.

            I guess any kid in school fucking cares that their politicians set the clock after when cows want to be milked.

        It’s got nothing to do with farmers. So whether or not farmers find daylight savings useful (I think the split is roughly 50/50) is irrelevant.

          All of it is irrelevant now. Especially in CA where we voted not to have it anymore and yet they keep doing it.

            Well California is the entire planet as we all well know, so I guess it’s conversation over then.

        How does it give them more daylight? The amount of hours between sunrise and sunset is not dependent on our clocks.
