If you read the article it's the worst of both worlds: Keep clock time the same but start work and school 30 minutes later?
replyShouldn't we just get up when the sun comes up? And if you can't see the sun, everyone can stay home.
replyNo thanks. That's like 5:30am in the summer. I need my beauty sleep.

replyThis is the only reasonable and measured take.
reply(Unfortunately, it always gets derailed by highly-polarized discussions about whether to stay on DST forever or get rid of it forever. They'll be showing up here again soon enough.)
It is a reasonable take but it is not the _only_ one - I think it is arguably more reasonable to transition away from DST to ordinary "best TZ granularity approximation to zenith-occurs-at-noon" time once, and then stay (and manage) that time over the millenia to come.
replyI like this idea. I like it quite a lot.
replyBut can we... uh... can we keep that as some kind of tertiary issue to solve later after we successfully stop screwing up the clocks twice every year? We don't really need to build a singular omnibus clock overhaul that will most assuredly never come to fruition, do we? :)
Swatch Beat time.
