We want to keep DST(the hour ahead) and drop standard time that we’re in right now(the fall back).

So standard time is the one that gets dark earlier? If so, it needs to go

Yes, we are in standard time currently. DST begins again March, when nights will be longer again and our seasonal depression will be revealed that it is not just seasonal.

I am still confused. Nights are longer now. Current time sucks depression is now

Nights are longer now due to the earth's axial tilt which DST tries to mitigate by falling back an hour to actually give you MORE sunlight. DST doesn't have a god damn thing to do with the days being shorter during winter and everyone blaming DST for it are morons.

DST is crap. It does not give me .ore sunlight. It makes sunrise at 6 am when i am still sleeping and sun set at 5.

Why the fuck do we need sun rise at 6 am?

The sun rises later in winter even with the fall back.

I mean evenings are longer I guess? I’m saying it emotionally lol so in the summers the nights are longer like it’s daylight later. Damn I am horrible at explaining my thoughts sorry
