Is it satire? Are they being facetious? I honestly can’t tell if they’re serious. They don’t make an argument against permanent DST.

Curious to see a Californian writing for (supposedly) tech-savvy publication echoing an old English superstition: https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofBritain/Give-...

Agree, what is it even trying to say? They even reference consensus that permanent DST is preferable, while on preceding and following lines make what I hesitate to even call an "argument":
> Never mind the fact that permanent DST means they never get that hour back or that in the winter children would be headed to the bus in darkness every morning.

#6Grew up in a region without day light saving, I really don’t see the point of changing clocks twice every year. I’d be very glad to see it getting abandoned

I think the first half of the article is written sarcasticly.

Not only is it content-free, but it's either a) wildly inaccurate or b) horribly incompetent satire, at least the bits about the hour being gone forever.

"This is clearly stupid, and something I’ve personally felt keenly since at least 1994, when I wrote to my then Congressman Pete Geren and asked why he supported Daylight Saving Time."
That passage marks the point where they admit it is satire. It's about half way through.

#10From [1], which is much better and more on-point, if still short: "Opponents of the proposition argue [...] the sun wouldn’t rise until 8 a.m. during some winter months, forcing children to walk to school or buses in darkness"
Maybe school shouldn't start so early then? Starting at 8:30-9 would reduce a lot of that, though not all of it. Also, as a Canadian and Vancouverite... so what? Darkness is a fact of life, get over it.
