This whole &amp;quot;for the kids@ argument is the worst one.&lt;p&gt;Most workers today would prefer going to work in the dark and having daylight after work. Even farmers will tell you DST doesn&amp;#x27;t make a diffence to them anymore (or ever). The animals get up with the sun regardless of what the clock says.&lt;p&gt;I agree with OP -- in today&amp;#x27;s modern world we should just stick with DST all year.</text><parent_chain><item><author>raldi</author><text>Without Standard Time, it would have been dark out until 7:40am today here in SF. That&amp;#x27;s really tough on people (or children) who have to be at work&amp;#x2F;school by 9 or even 8. By mid-December, sunrise wouldn&amp;#x27;t be until almost 8:30.

The tech industry owes a lot of its hyper productivity to the fact that they have flexible hours for their engineers which tend to skew later into the day and night.</text><parent_chain><item><author>raldi</author><text>Without Standard Time, it would have been dark out until 7:40am today here in SF.
