I agree, but the business lobbies who want to make more money because there will be more daylight when people get off work won. Who cares if more kids get hit by cars walking to the bus stop in the dark mornings, right?

I wouldn't be surprised though if this ever actually gets through the senate, that some businesses start adjusting their hours because enough employees complain.

Kids are already walking to the bus stop in the dark. My HS started at 8 am, but I had to catch the bus at 7:15, which meant standing outside in the pitch dark every single morning.

Lots of northern cities around the world have late sunrises in the winter, and they seem to be doing OK. For today:

Madrid: 8:34am Copenhagen: 8:37am Paris: 8:41am Brussels: 8:42am Stockholm: 8:43am Oslo: 9:17am

This is the real reason daylight time has stuck around and been extended: people shop more. It’s all about the money
