Reply to comment by gargle_ground_glass in It wouldn’t be dark so early tomorrow if Maine switched to Atlantic Time by LordHamburguesa1

We should try it again. It’s been 50 years. Totally different generation and I feel it would fit a lot more now. I don’t give a damn about “shopping later,” so that’s weird of you to say. I’m sick of it being dark at 430pm. It’s ridiculous. There’s no need for DST. Period.

It's one of the most common rationales they give for DST.

>It’s ridiculous.

But it's okay to have dark winter mornings?

Well then it will be darker an hour earlier in the summer as well!
