> Why are we "saving daylight" when there's more of it?

We're saving it from the morning in the summer, when there's way too much of it while we're asleep, to use it in the evening, when we want to enjoy the outdoors with our families and friends after dinner.

The point is to increase the enjoyment of summer sunlight after the work day is over.

No, the point was to conserve fuel for the winter months. Which was why dst was a wwi directive that was abandoned after the war. We reimplemented it during wwii and just never changed back

		I'm talking about the modern rationale, not the historical one. It's not like we forgot to change back. It's that we decided we really liked the longer usable daylight in the summer. There have been tons of adjustments to DST since WWII, reflecting the fact that we like it in the summer. The point is, it is literally described as saving daylight, which is what I explained. Saving it from the morning to use in the evening.
