I’ve seen a lot of MSM articles slamming DST.

Why are liberals so against it?

I never really thought it a big deal, one way or another.

But seeing near vitriolic screeds against it in the usual leftist publications makes me think maybe it is a good thing.

If the liberals are putting up such a concerted front against it, there’s probably something in it, that I am unaware of, that is good.

No, this is something fairly equally hated.

In fact, far leftists are the ones that seem to adore it, which makes it suspicious.

I am NOT for something that completely disrupts operations for no discernible reason, and DST is definitely one of them.

It is a fool who looks for logic in the liberal mind.

It is not just Liberals. There are plenty of Conservatives that see it as stupid and a net harm.

Also, compliance with DST and ST shifts cost hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Money that would be better spent on ANYTHING else.

It also causes me to have to get on stools, chairs and ladders to reach clocks. This sort of nonsense could lead to a dangerous fall and a broken hip. It is all fun and games until someone breaks a hip!

Because they hate golf? DST's principal affect on me is that it enables my Tuesday after-work golf league.

Well, that ends in August, so I don't see why it has to run 'til November! What the heck? This is some sort of calculation somebody did, but it's off the charts.
