I can't understand how a one hour change in the spring and fall can upset people's schedule so much. It's a non issue that they seem to make an issue over....
I suspect the most vocal/annoyed, are the ones least affected by yearly daylight hour changes;
I wasn't going to say anything, but this above quote prompted me;

I appreciate daylight savings for being given more ability to see daylight, because going to work in the dark, then coming home in the dark really sucks.

This gets more emphasised the further north you live;
And seeing as I can not practically or legally reside any further south than the 49th parallel (or 49 longitude), this is something I hope doesn't end.
I'd actually prefer the longer daylight savings that we used to have.
