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.

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.
