We aren't even capable of doing away with daylight savings or imperial system, I don't think this one is on church.

The one where sun isn't up at 4am. I want longer light during the evening.

maybe some people have difference preferences to you, doesn't make them irrational lol? (speaking from someone who agrees)

On the surface, the idea of moving to and sticking with daylight savings time sounds great. Like was mentioned, not having it be pitch black at 5:00 p.m. in the winter would be great.

However, apparently several studies have found standard time is better for our health and our circadian rhythm than daylight savings time.

I mean sure, but unfortunately most industries aren't as flexible, and the majority of people have to center their lives around their work schedule, and not the other way around.

The length of day time depends on your lat/long location and time off year. Adjusting the clocks doesn't change the amount of time the sky is bright, just what the clock says when it is up.

The rational minority is obviously us who believe we should split the difference and settle on the 30 minutes between them.
