Think over there they have far more pressing issues that are a threat to public safety like reliable electricity supply and adequate back up supply for instance......

Do they drop dead? Do their animals drop dead? Do the crops wilt? WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN! WOULD SOMEBODY THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN!!

Couldn't they just make their own starting and finishing times based on the sunrise and sunset. So instead of a 5am start, its a 4am start, and finish an hour earlier than normal?
Whats the problem with that? They get more of their afternoon for activities.
What the clock says has no effect on the actual daylight hours.

exactly. a farmers 10 hour day (for example) is still a 10 hour day whether he starts it at 4am by the clock, or 5 am by the clock. the clock part is completely irrelevant.
look at it this way, they get to have an hours sleep in every day during daylight savings

What I'm trying to say is they can't start at 4am or 5am, it's still dark. If they work their 10 hour day, more of it is spent in the hotter part of day due to a later start.

So drink in the morning and work at night? I like it, bar the drink / driving aspect.
