In the first seven years of my life, there was no daylight saving time chaos. But ever since they introduced it back in 1977 (I am Dutch), there have been discussions about getting rid of it again. Which of course never happened. The promises of the DST lobby (better use of resources, less costs for the economy) have however also never materialised. The whole DST thing shouts emperor's new clothes and a political inability to act on facts to me :)

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net This occurred to me this morning as I was waking up to an β€œextra” hour in standard time: if automation and labor unions had succeeded in getting us down to a standard 30- or 35- hour work week by now, daylight savings time likely wouldn’t even be a thing.
