How do you square being a morning person with wanting mornings to be dark for as long as possible?

Keep DST.

And I suppose there is no correlation to the people doing more? Nooo that couldn't happen…

But someone on INGO told me that people are more active outside in that evening light, so how come electric usage increases? If they're outside, they shouldn't need to use more electricity in all that 'extra' daylight

Sounds more like they're the ones sitting inside watching TV/surfing INGO

Keep DST.

You're in Minnesota. Does the sun even come up up there this half of the year?

I don't know. I use electricity outside too.

I am personally good with that but the mommies don’t want 9:00am sunrise in December…

When did DST lovers start caring what other people think?

Actually it does. We just have to lower our expectations of what "up" means.

 

[BugI02]

This whole argument is ridiculous.

The sun will come up when it's supposed to and set when it's supposed to. Jumping a clock up an hour or back an hour won't change it.

Yeah! It's as regular as ... uhh ... errr ... clockwork

The HOA board will be by your home at noon tomorrow to make sure all you slackers have really changed your clocks…

 

[actaeon277]

Ha.
I haven't changed by clocks from last time

Actually I think DST was started back around 1918 because of WWI and then faded away and brought back because of WWII and then faded away until 1966.

Agreed! That was the Indian chief's point!

 

[DoggyDaddy]

It will just be an hour later than today...

Simple. In the winter, days are short, weather is ******, and there isn't daylight to be had very early in the morning anyway. But, in the summer, the sun rises early enough on the clock, even with DST, for me to do stuff outside when I need to. And since I work from home, my workday starts early. I don't need daylight for that. When I'm off work and have things to do outside, I like having the daylight on that side of work. YMMV.

Probably if I were retired, I wouldn't bother much with clocks anyway. The world could keep whatever time it wanted.
