They made the common mistake of assuming winter time, the one that sucks and where daylight is “saved” by moving it earlier in the day and we’re only on for a small portion of the year is Daylight Saving Time instead of Standard Time. That’s why we call it standard, because most of the time we don’t use it!

Obviously the summer time where we get to use all the daylight in the evening, the one we’re on for the majority of the year, is Daylight Saving Time!

RIP. In the US summer time is from early March to early November.

Obviously we'd be using summer time the whole year, it's the other one that sucks
