You do realize changing the idea of changing the clocks to be either one hour forward or one hour backwards doesn’t change the fact that the sun changes position throughout the year.
The summer will feel long and the winter will feel short no matter what. At least in the US.
You can hate it all you want but it’s to account for the fact the days do actually get shorter and longer.
Take it from someone who doesn’t have to change their clocks, it’s way easier to deal with that way. The whole process is so gradual you barely even notice it.
Well I guess in New England it works out better cause it does get dark out earlier in the winter. It’s like some Baltic regions being am/pm vs 24hr.
