    Reading the above should answer the question as to whether, in 2022, we need DST or not?
    Should we all also stop driving Mercedes and Audis?

    You are a major hypocrite, asshole.
    While you are correct, I think lenience should be given to delusional nutjobs whose grip on reality is tenuous at best.

    You'd love Alaska in the summer! Some days are 22 hours of daylight long!

    But, then the opposite becomes true in the winter. Some nights are 22 hours long!

    If this is farming related (despite farmers not liking it) they can set their alarm clocks to whenever they want or need (as they currently do) to make best use of the 24 hours available to them each day.

    But there is no reason the rest of us need to be bothered with this annoying practice.

    And I can assure you the pets of our country would be very grateful not to have to deal with having their schedules turned upside down twice a year.

    The school year is farming related too. It'd be better to have year-round school with 2-3 weeks in between quarters.
