It’s depressing all this darkness. I don’t know where you are but up north, we have very short days. 🌚

So it's dark in the morning. Nobody's really very awake anyway, might as well be dark.

Some people don't like driving to work in the dark. There isn't any way to please everyone.

I used to get up at 6:00 AM and have breakfast by 7:00 AM.
Now I get up at the same time, but the clock says "5:00 AM" and when I sit down to breakfast the clock says "6:00 AM".
But so what? I really don't care about the numbers on the clock.

I'd think there could be more evening consumerism if it wasn't dark so early, so maybe we can get the greedy money-types on board too?

I hate daylight savings time.

But if we could stay on one time all year long, I’d be happy.

that during the summer it stays lighter considerably longer in the northern states such as NY than it does in the southern states like Florida?

Yes, we should have left the clocks at Daylight Time but then in the Spring spring ahead one more hour. I'd love to have a glimmer of light at 10:10pm in the middle of the Summer. Couldn't care less if it was pitch black at 8am in the Winter.
