Older people always remind me to change my clocks for Daylight Saving Time. (lemm.ee)

I haven't used a clock in years that I need to manually reset. Older people don't seem to realize clocks on phones and other devices reset automatically.

Homie I live in Farmersville, USA and there isn't a fuckbilly from here to Hicktown, USA that is guna bitch about the time it says on the clock vs what they have to do in the time they have with the sun up.

As far as schools, I stand by my point. Maybe it'll make the idiots dumb enough to invest in a crotch fruit or two totake a look at the learning efficiency of kids and teens after the 5 hr mark. It's dumb as fuck having kids go to school 35 hrs a week or whatever it may be.

I'll take you at your word as being right, since you have "boots on the ground".

For what its worth, I've watched plenty of interviews on news shows about it over many years, and it allways gets said that farmers want DST. But apparently that's not true.

What the hell does that have to do with parents not wanting their children waiting for the morning bus in the dark? Edit: Not that I'm necessarily disagreeing with you, just saying that's not the point I'm making.

Shortening the school day would kill two birds with one stone, they'd start later so they aren't going to school in the dark, and also improving a child's learning efficiency by not burning them out.
