At least for those of us in some places, tonight is that night where clocks are set back an hour because of...Uh...mumble, mumble, something, something, factory-workers, farmers, mumble, mumble. That's right, Daylight Savings Time is upon us, and while time-traveling backwards does make me feel like a protagonist in a bad movie and gets me an extra hour to ignore upcoming deadlines, it also buggers with preexisting schedules and there's a growing degree of opposition to it.
In the US, a new poll holds that 70% of people dislike the switching back-and-forth between DST and standard time...But can't agree on which one to permanently change to if such a thing were in the works.
For our European friends, the EU has actually voted to scrap the idea starting in 2021 pending members approving the idea...Of course, that might cause some fun screwery with the UK and Ireland thanks to the wonders of Brexit and what seems to be moderate UK support for the idea (44% in favor of the idea versus 39% who want to scrap it).
So, what are folks standpoint on this, the largest and most important issue of our time (unless you live somewhere that doesn't do it in which case feel free to express your amazement and respect for my and others magical, time-traveling capabilities)?
Dislike twice-a-year time changes? You're part of large majority of Americans, poll shows
