Universal Time, Anyone?

I find these articles so frustrating… https://t.co/zg1PGcfilk

Yes, changing the time we get up by an hour (either way) out of pace with the sun has negative safety and health implications, but

  • The sun’s position relative to the clock is different depending on latitude and your relative longitude within your timezone; every area is affected differently.
  • The clock time by which we start work or school doesn’t have to be fixed. Every locality can change these as it makes sense.

So, let’s all do what is best for safety and health where we live, regardless of what the government says the time is.
