Why is 8:30 "stupid early"? It doesn't seem bad at all to me. The majority of people have to be at work before then too.

Because schools don't pick up kids at 8:30. If you look up that stupid article whining about kids waiting for the bus in the dark (which is a non-issue), they were waiting at 7 am


It should at least be twilight at 7am, not fully dark. And that's using a high latidute (US) example of Massachusetts.


It was using NYC, not Massachusetts. And why shouldn't it be dark at 7am?


I'm not sure I understand the question. On a side note, it's never really dark in NYC (unless a blackout happens).


I was asking why 7am should be twilight.

And it's not my fault an article decided that street lights in the 70s were too dim for school children in new york.


"I was asking why 7am should be twilight."

Because even on the shortest day twilight happens before 7am.

That's the current timezone. The 7am has s dark was midDecember while on summer time


Typo - was saying it isn't stupid early.


Oh, ok.
