Odd how two far-left publications are pushing a (frankly completely stupid and redundant) argument calling the 7 day week tyrannical and then pushing a system that is actually tyrannical. Imagine each year having the exact same days/dates. Every 14th would be a Thursday every year for eternity. This is the need to control every aspect of peoples lives. Well and of course the destruction of the Christian week per the Bible.

DST is honestly something that should be based on latitude, people in Michigan are far more affected than people in Florida, and a state variance would make more sense in that regard. This is similar to how we treat time zones which have been fairly easy for people in transition.
That's a good point about latitude, I hadn't thought of that.
Personally, DST seems like a hassle to cover up seasonal changes, with the intention of getting people away from thinking that they shouldn't be working when the sun is down.
It's an issue that I expect to be brought up less going into the future, as everyone uses their smartphone or other internet-connected device to tell the time of day. I'm still using normal clocks, so I often fuck up appointments because I forget it's time to change the numbers again.
