Old people were against it and they seem to be the only ones with a voice that is actually heard.
Or not everyone lives in the same latitude and changing the time effects you a lot more the further from the equator you get.
messing with boomers is always a bad idea
Not just old people are against it. I think a lot of people would be against permanent winter time, me included, since it'd mean shorter evenings in the summer and sunrise very early in the morning. Likewise, keeping Summertime all the time would mean extremely dark mornings in the winter. From what I gathered summer time only would also be unhealthy according to sleep experts. The changes are not ideal either, but imo it's a fine solution. I'd rather have this than wintertime only
I'm strongly opposing the idea of abolishing summer time and not even 60 years old.
