Florida lawmakers vote to stay in Daylight Saving Time all year long

The labels we assign start to have significance. 12 has significance as lunch time to most. 9 am may be when business starts.

When I say they are just re-labeling numbers, I mean that if someone now gets hungry at 1pm instead of 12, that individual will start to act accordingly. It's possible that people will start to eat at 1pm and the significance of those clock numbers starts to change accordingly.

Maybe that happens or maybe not. My point is they established their significance for a reason. But imagine if a group of people who got hungry at 11am all the time decided it was good to establish 11am as lunch time by calling it noon.

By 'earlier', I mean that in terms of our biological clocks. Some people are prone to sleeping later after the sun goes down and getting up later while others are the opposite.

Let's say that society decides that 8 am is appropriate to start business. Most businesses open around that time. Let's say to provide a reference, that 8am is 1 hour after sunrise on June 10. By pushing the time forward, 8am is now when the sunrises on June 10. You have effectively made everyone start the day at sunrise instead of 1 hour after sunrise.

This is definitely a morning-person thing. People who are functional earlier benefit over those who aren't.

it would be nice if lawmakers could, for once, make a decision not based on the dollar.
