      Don’t you see? If you cut an hour off at the start of the day, and add it on to the end of the day, you end up with a longer day!

      I don’t understand what’s hard to understand. The timing to avoid starting your day in significant darkness all winter would means a very early sunrise and short evenings in the summer.

      The logical solution is to change our schedules to partially follow the sunrise, rather than keeping everything static relative to midday.

      We could all coordinate changing every timetable and appointment, or we can instead change one single thing to get the same effect.

      IMO a theoretical ideal would be to fix the time of sunrise. But I’m practice that would be a huge PITA only workable through tech.

      Places closer to the equator get nothing much out of it.
