The change in clocks makes it less convenient to do business with the human world. <br /><br />Every article I've read since 2018 says farmers say, "don't pin this crap on me!" One went so far as to say the farmers worked to prevent DST and kept it away until the 1960s. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-10469932136691934252020-03-09T07:09:54.730-04:002020-03-09T07:09:54.730-04:00Allegedly, Rick Scott’s original support for keepi...Allegedly, Rick Scott’s original support for keeping DST was to boost tourist towns on the coasts which is a kiss-off to those of us who live in Florida’s interior.

If that's noon to 3am, that's where the customers are... Service them!<br /><br />Worried about the schools being open too early and it being dark? Why not just have school start an hour later? Why does the clock have to be shifted?Angus McThaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09295013525738248801noreply@blogger.com
