    We’re kind of having the same argument in two different threads … I’m not sure which thread is better.

    Morning our schedules is no better than moving out clocks.

    It’s objectively better! “Moving clocks” is effectively the same as moving schedules for individuals, but to practically coordinate with others, everybody must change their clock and therefore their schedule. Individuals and organizations already construct their schedules as needed.

    Part of the issue is that we all work too damn much, anyways. The 40 hour, 5 day work week (and thus the 9-to-5) is an arbitrary concept that research has indicated may be just as effective as a shorter work week.

      We have to have schedules. We have to have some consistency of time. I change my schedule, I will be out of sync with everyone else.

      Yeah, we should work less, but we don’t have much of a choice. I think we are more apt to get year round DST than a shorter week.
