There used to be a reason, for farmers to have more light in the morning.
This was never the reason. It was to do with factories saving on electric lighting during WWI, by getting their workers out an hour earlier. Then after WWII we just kept it going for some reason
I never understood this argument because farmers are the least likely job to use the clock to tell them when to work... The idea of a farmer waiting for 8am to clock in is ridiculous.
It gave them more day light in the morning
How does it give them more daylight? The amount of hours between sunrise and sunset is not dependent on our clocks.
I said in the morning, not total hours of daylight
Because the hens, pigs and cows came out an hour early, right?
I have zero clue, I guess they can feed them in day light. For fuck sakes who cares tbh.
Why cant farmers just set their alarm an hour earlier though, no need to drag everyone else into this
Apparently this was a myth, but I’m against it, I voted in CA to pass a law where we don’t have to do it and yet we still do. No one wants day light savings time
No I want permanent daylight savings. I want to spring forward and not fall back.
Sorry, let me rephrase, no more time change and spring forward would be my choice
That’s a myth. Farmers in the US lobbied against the change. Animals and crops don’t care about the time, so it just meant they had to start work earlier on the clock.
If you check farmers' out they can still do the same amount of work in daylight hours.
Daylight savings' history is actually more white than you think. The law was passed by politicians that just wanted to golf earlier. Farmers are commonly used as the excuse because every accusations is a confession.
