Daylight Savings time: How is this still a thing?

22. "If I have to leave for work before dawn, that's not a big deal"

I was in junior high when Nixon changed DST to start in January in 1974 and was going to school when it was PITCH DARK in the mornings and we had to carry flashlights (had to catch a train and bus to school because there were no "yellow school buses" that picked me up at my front door - as a city kid we got on public transit).



THAT was one of the reasons they finally ditched that nonsense - the kids, many of the youngest ones who have to walk to/from school, and notably in the cities because the privileged suburban kids get the yellow bus that takes them door-to-door and but good luck with that being universal if you live in the city.
