And they simply cannot cope with the fact that the sun might be different at different parts of the year? They really gotta revolve around the sun?

Wait, are you arguing for or against DST? DST solely exists because of the position of the sun at different times of the year. The downside is that everyone has to adjust their internal clock twice a year. If we just choose one timezone and be done with it, we can let the sun do its thing and follow our regular schedule throughout the whole year. If that’s what you’re saying, I agree. Then still, I’d pick the option that benefits most people in terms of daylight hours.

I'm just saying that daylight savings time is first shift being selfish.
