    and the way we schedule our lives around those times is also up to us.

    This is some r/im14andthisisdeep shit

    Tell my boss time is just a social construct and you might have an argument.

    Or put another way if it’s more important to you that sunlight time lines up with your arbitrarily imposed schedule is more important to you than the health & safety of your fellow Americans, you’re “worse than dead” to us.

    Except that it also fucks over everybody else who is on the same “arbitrarilly enforced schedule” (which happens to be about 90% of working adults) and this isnt me being selfish in spite of everybody else. Being able to conceivably leave the house outside of the 9 to 5 working schedule is pretty universally popular.

    Seriously wtf are you arguing for. How is it being dark on my commute to work, after I drop off my kids at school and also being dark when I drive home from work “safer for evwrybody”

    Kids come home from school between 3 and 4 even with extracurricular, literally rhe only people the eveinging time change affects is working adults.
