An imagined discussion of how it might go if someone were proposing Daylight Saving Time as a new idea now:
So you're saying we should all just get up an hour earlier?
Yes.
And get our kids up an hour earlier for school?
Yes.
And why do we do this?
So it's daylight a bit longer in the evening.
And?
Well, that can save some energy.
Only if we don't turn our lights on, which we probably will anyway.
You can be outside later.
Are you suggesting we're afraid of the dark or something?
No, no. But you won't need lights out there until later.
Yeah, I think you really need to go back to the drawing board on this one.
