Daylight saving

According to Wikipedia, the idea of so called Daylight Saving was first proposed by George Hudson in 1895. And this imbecile system has continued until the present day, although much of the world sensibly eschews it.

It is an example of politics trying to gain control over nature. Politicians would do better to concentrate on what they are good at.  But maybe that leaves them with so much spare time on their hands that they cannot help but come up with ridiculous schemes. Leastways George apparently came up with the idea in his spare time.

Without doubt the "arrow of time" moves in one direction only, and a clock is a device that measures that progress. No time machine has yet been invented that can reverse the flow. Except for daylight saving.

If indeed it is helpful to shift work hours biannually, whatever is wrong with simply changing the times at which the work day begins and ends, rather than changing the clock?
