Well, though I object to the usage of “woke” in this (or any) context unless it means I woke at 7AM which might be 8AM…. Anyway, yes I agree with the sentiment of the post.
I mentioned elsewhere that a “news” guy said because of Daylight Saving Time we now have longer days and shorter nights. This has been going on for billions of years and is because of the way the earth spins and its orbit around the Sun. Some even call that “science,” not valid in all states. Check with your congressmen.
Length of daylight has nothing to do with the arbitrary numbers we assign to points in what we call a “day.” So, yes, the message of the post is valid, but if you can, please realize that woke has been weaponized as a hate-word of the racist right, and I’d prefer it’s not used here.
i’m tired of having my circadian (and most other) rhythms f**ked with by inept legislators who kowtow to the biggest donors.
Read the damned medical reports on what Doesn’t Save Time does to various health issues.
You want to get up in the dark, Fine, set your damned alarm clock an hour earlier.
You want to get home with 3 hours more sunshine left in the summer, Fine, take off from work an hour earlier. (invite your boss to that golf game!) Or hell, just quit your damned job you’re probably not doing anything significant on while daydreaming about that extra hour of sunshine, anyway.

This is something we can agree about.
