EU to stop changing the clocks in 2019

"Farmers, contrary to the strange and completely false belief that DST was created for them, actually despise it: Their schedules are entirely run by sunlight rather than the clock..."

Seriously, arguments for DST are absolutely ridiculous. In the summer when the days are longest it kicks in, which is pointless. In the winter when days are shorter it's not active.

Throw DST into the trash where it belongs.

Let's keep DST year round and ditch "standard time"

But said "nope" a couple of years after. They are now on standard time year round.

If their schedules are entirely run by daylight then why care at all what the clock says?
