While we're at it, can we get rid of daylight savings time too?

As a programmer, I hate daylight savings, but asa human being, I love daylight savings.

It's just so nice to get that extra bit of sunlight in the evening.

As a human being, I hate daylight saving time... It's very disruptive to sleep schedules (particularly for children, but adults as well). Traffic accidents spike in the days after the DST switch (likely due in part to the aforementioned sleep disruptions). Summer days are plenty long already...

Yes, exactly my thoughts. While it's great that automated systems and networks can account for this man-made invention of time change, it is very stressful on humans and also unnecessary. A dissolving and averaging out to a new standard would help everyone out in the long run..

Or we could just keep time on DST and stop switching. No reason to give up those nice, long summer evenings.
