Comment on Worst day of the year

My favourite fact about this topic is that there is a significant bump in car accidents twice a year due to day light saving change.

So we literally sacrifice a few lives here and there cause it used to benefit factories (not fully recalling the reason, I think it was for WWII)

Always follow the money. Oil / petrol sales benefit from more light after work hours. It still benefits some big industries.

The majority of actual human beings do not want dst, and are clearly harmed by it. It’s still around because industry has found ways to profit off it and while you and I would do better without it, they will fight to prevent meaningful change.
