Should we discontinue DST?

The problem is when they only report half the story. The fulk story was spring ahead raised the heart attack rate, falling back dropped it by the same amount. No net difference.

 

So if we fall back an hour every month will we completely do away with heart attacks?

 

Just a quick comment: DST is not all that bad in and of itself but it gets really bad when the dates it is in effect are changed. And then it is compounded by other countries having yet different dates when they change to and from DST. I worked for the American arm of a German company and it was a real treat trying to figure out what time it was in Germany (usually EST +6 but that changed due to DST, ours AND theirs). The only saving grace is that we (US and Germany) list our dates differently so we often missed by entire seasons, never mind hours (7/1/2017 is a very different date and climate in Germany as compared with the US).

Now that is perfectly logical and wise! Not that it would fix any errors but it would make the errors the same, summer and winter, and always make them the same value at 30 minutes.

We could call it Baba time.....

We do that every year. Darkness ranges from 4 PM to 9 PM Even the morning have more daylight . range from 4 Am to 7:30 AM. My favorite is DST.

 

sorry for making you feel like I think your full of bs. I never meant to imply that. I didn't think you blew up, but I appreciate what your saying. I also want to avoid politics.
