Question
Should we have daylight saving time?
Position2 of 2

No, we should not have daylight saving time

This position holds that daylight saving time should be scrapped, arguing the costs outweigh the benefits of an outdated practice. It contends that clock-changing disrupts religious observance, favours some industries over others, and no longer serves its original purpose.
