Bullshit. There's no statistics to show countries nearer the equator contain stupider folk.
I could perhaps imagine that only very clever folk can survive in colder climates as growing food is more difficult, whereas in a paradise climate, anyone can survive.

I confuse some people by saying "I'll see you about 11 or 12 in the morning". They say "12 isn't in the morning". Pedants.
The time or the weather?

Not if we reduced the number if kids we had. And it wouldn't be to zero= due to accidents.
There wouldn't magically be more work to do. Everyone would do a 3 day = week forever. Or work a 5 day week then have a few years off every so o= ften. Clearly once you'd accrued enough money you could either go part = time or retire for a bit. Nobody's going to force you to work.

Quite, if the wage slaves want it "light in the evening when they get home" just go to work a couple of hours earlier". The "working day" of 9 to 5 is asymetric around noon, it should be 8 to 4. Even then it's geting dark by 4 mid winter up here and we aren't *really* north.
Eh? The amount of daylight is the same for a given day, just that the wage slaves waste an hour or so of it in the mornings.
UTC and atomic time are kept within a second or so of each other by having leap seconds every so often.

Unless you used to work for the railways/buses/military, I find it most odd that you think of time in that way. Most people would say "9pm" not "twenty one hundred hours", which is damn stupid if you think about it, there are not hundreds of hours.

I'm just glad to see daylight and get out in it.
I was never a fan of DST. I think it's useless. *It's for the kids*

n see one hour into the future, as our clocks are out of step with reality.
y changing the clocks, we can make it lighter in the morning or lighter in the evening (much preferred). During summer, we don't need to do either, s o might aswell leave it the same as whatever we chose in the winter.
g. If it were
nt the light. Very few people are earlybirds.
n the evening....
e open, our places of work open, etc.
ss for longer, or get nothing for 5 years?
nd nothing to do with them (although it is tax free). When they pay out, a nd how much, is between me and the bank. Employers also do private pension s on your behalf.
Very few employers do private pensions anymore. Quite often, with these
401(k) plans, the employer puts in some percentage. For example, if you put in 4% of your pay, they'll put in 2% over and above your regular salary. If you prefer to save outside of that system, you lose the 2%.Cindy Hamilton
