It’s so you don’t waste early daylight. Get to Work! As a retiree, the clock only matters for doctors appointments, tv schedules are dying from streaming.
It’s certainly not for the farmers. Farmers have traditionally opposed DST. The world shifts (e.g. what time the produce markets open), but the cows’ milking schedule does not.
Not for the kids – it’s darker in the morning which makes it more difficult for school.And hopefully winter’s past since there won’t be sunlight to help warm things up in the morning – or unfreeze roads in areas that still have that.

Yeah, the clock in my Equinox will be right next time. Hate the car, only use it on rainy days!

If you must do it, six months intervals makes sense. Nothing is saved. Just makeing everyone get up early year round or not makes even more sense.

Everybody knows it is wrong, but the congress and senate do nothing about it. I’m pretty sure any president would sign the bill.

I don’t know. People like the sun setting later. I like that. I also like the short days in Winter. I like the changes.
