As a kid, I tried to figure out what "dough glass" was. It's what was marked on the window of a prop plane.
Also "ply mouth", which sounded like a medical condition you get from eating too many tires.
Speak for yourself. I have hundreds of hours of daylight in my savings account.
Ancient quote, attributed to Amercan Indians: "Only white man think cut off one end of blanket, an sew it on other end and make blanket longer."
I think the concept was so people could go and come from work during daylight.

Something reminds me of Daylight Stupid Time. This ridiculous messing with clocks and claiming to have more time.

The ridiculous thing here is the strawman. I rather like DST, even more so when I lived further North. I only wish it were doubled.

Who ever claimed that DST gives you "more time"?
I have never heard anyone make that claim.
As a rule, white people are stupid.
Your employer is the controlling factor. If you don't have to be at work at a particular time, you just shift your time up an hour or two. I'd rather live at the western end of the time zone to get the daylight later, but that is not in the picture.
I heard about that in school, and think about it every time I hear of DST.
Couldn't they find a better way than playing mind games with people? Consider that IT'S THE SAME TIME, whether your government tells you to call it 7AM or 8AM.

I remember some plan to double DST in alternate time zones, and eliminate it in the time zones in between. That makes timekeeping much simpler everywhere.
Of course, it also does away with the twice-yearly excuse to set your clocks.
A lot of people do (or at least SAY they do). They say thinks like "more time in the morning". They also seem to be saying that time itself is affected.
Of course there is a personal time effect. More time is used dealing with this mess.
BTW, having DST in effect all year is really the same as doing away with DST. I don't really care which way it's simplified.
A farmer in the State of Maine once remarked about DST, "The cows still know what time it is." ^_^

Sort of, but not exactly. DST shifts the sunrise/sunset an hour forward. What it really does is make the morning darker and the evening light longer. Many of us prefer that in summer so we can enjoy the light time after work.
If you work at night, don't work at all, live in the western end of your time zone, you will care less about it than the rest of us.
I think that is's so easy to make simple ty- pos, but that with careful proof reading, i- t's possible to deliver a perfect email, or usenut newsgruop pots.
Maybe to the unemployed (unemployable) it's the same.
...and media, and wife's employer, and businesses, and...
Same here. That's why I'd go for a double-DST or DST all year with a double in the summer. That's the purpose of DST, after all.
I'm straddling a time zone now. My house is at the far Eastern edge of the time zone (~15 miles from the line) and I'm now working, and living during the week, across the line. It's nice to have a zero commute home on Friday evening but getting up at 4:00AM to make it into work on Monday morning isn't any fun.
...and change smoke detector batteries. ;-)
Shame on you. You have NOT been saving hard enough By now you should be in the tens of thousand.
