You typed all that and still don’t realize the problem is with the start time of school/work?

Which one to choose is such a non-issue it shouldn’t even be discussed.

It’s just a number on the clock. The day doesn’t actually get any longer or shorter, it doesn’t actually get darker any earlier, the only thing that changes is the number on the clock. So adjust your life based on the actual darkness. Start work an hour earlier, go to bed an hour earlier, etc etc and wow it’s exactly the same thing as you were doing before.

I just can’t believe people even argue about this.

Why are we still doing this? Stupid and unnecessary. Just get rid of it already.
