I feel sorry for people who are so weak as to have trouble adjusting by an hour.

Indeed. Having lived with DST for over seven decades I appreciate the long summer evenings. I find it pathetic that anyone would claim to have trouble "adjusting." I guess liberals are not the only fussy whiners in the world.

One exception I know of is dairy farmers. Cows need milking on a regular schedule, usually about 5 am and 5 pm. They don't understand DST, so Amish for example stay on standard time.

Guaranteed some of those same people would berate anyone who dared complain about working overnights, or 18 hrs a day, or having to wake up a 3am for a minimum wage job.

I can picture them with their "whah, whah" cleverness now.

I don't have trouble adjusting to it, I just think it is stupid.

I used to work in dairy and the cows thought the whole thing was quite silly.

Please. DST is a damned relic from when the nation needed to squeeze just a few more minutes of light into the buggy whip factory clerestory windows.
