Comment Re:Incredible stupidity (Score 1) 198

It's a social invention that is easier to change simultaneously by law, good luck having each business, school make decisions about the "right time" to open. And good luck knowing if each business that you are interested in decides to open earlier during summer or later during winter...

Ultimately you need to understand that the "human invention" is not following the realities of seasons which is a simple cosmic fact, not an invention.
DST it's just a way of trying to sync the human invention twice a year to match the cosmic reality better. Ignoring the reality is worse than changing the time twice a year. Do you have a better solution?

Comment Re:Violated her rights how? (Score 1) 148

My bad, I skipped over that paragraph for some reason. It's a weird claim, it's one thing to claim academic freedom and other thing to speak about free speech rights. I actually suspected the article embellished that and misquoted, so I had to check the complaint, I found the bit that refers to freedom of speech and association:

"In January 2023, Dean Elmendorf told Dr. Donovan that she was not allowed to communicate to donors and supporters her understanding of what was taking place. "
I guess a workplaces can put restrictions who you can talk to, probably not the strongest claim.
