Sometimes I forget that I have to type on a 3rd grade level here.
Moons mark a month, generally speaking.
That month is divided up by how many times the sun's light making a shadow spins around a pointy thing over a semi-circle (sun dial) which is usually about 29.5
So a moon phase (month) is divided by how many times the sun rises and sets (sun dial) and then when a person makes little marks on the sun dial over thousands of years, patterns tend to emerge, like hours, minutes, seconds.
It's not rocket science. It's thousands of years of marking shadows.
This fricking place*

Jefferson,
Arizona has already been doing this. This isn't a new idea, but God Bless You.

My Grand Pop was a WW-1 veteran and I have all his stuff he brought back from France. He despised DST and always had one clock in his house that he never changed.
He was a farmer and in his words he said that this was an over reaching act of government and the people didn't get to vote on it one way or the other.

Time is relative, imo and for example when I was a kid and I told you, "I'll be there in an hour." I meant 3 hours.. and then I learned a lesson from my grandpa & now 1 hour = 1 hour.

Time is an illusion, what mankind measures is for our benefit alone, so black people can always be late. I keed, I keed. (somewhat)

Do you recall the day when everybody stopped to see......The Blazing Sun?? Did you really see the way they all looked up and asked that question, "Why?" Boom boom bang bang look out here it comes again. Can't stop the way it flows. It never knows. Why it goes. Time is free. Time is Free.

At the higher latitude, they got more daylight in the winter than in the lower latitude, or some shite, and it was about saving lamp oil.
Opposite...winter days are shorter summer days are longer the higher the latitude you go.

As an old Indian Chief once said when told about the reason for DST ... "Only white man would think if he cut off a foot from one end of blanket and sew to other end, he would have longer blanket."

I thought about what I said, though it is obvious you did not read what you thought you read. I said it was the original claim, not that I agreed with it in any way. To state it plainly, I do not agree with it. There is going to be a certain time of light no matter what the time on the clock says. It would have made more sense for those individuals seeking more light to seasonally adjust their work schedules.

Farmers don't give a shite about what time it is. When they have a job to do, they do it. They don't burn sunlight when they have crops to tend to.
Just leave it as it is right now, the spring forward concept.
frick the government, leave my time alone and give me back my light blubs and balance the fricking budget you fricks.
