Can we just stop changing the clock?

Most of the comments so far are pushing or pulling the clock in whatever direction their personal preference is. Call me crazy but the time should be a constant, unchanging reference.

If it's dark in your location earlier in the evening, don't mess with the clock. Agree as a local society that instead of working 800 to 1700 at some point in the calendar most people transition to 700 to 1600, if that's a local issue.

Edit: Or negotiate that with your boss. Most of my team works 8 to 5, I work 7 to 4, as long as its consistent no one cares. Obviously retail employees can't do that, but customer-facing people are working past dark no matter what if it's an afternoon shift.

In the USA 70% of divorces are women initiated. When filtered to those with a college degree it's 90%

Does US law require one person to initiate the divorce? That will mean that in many cases in which both want a divorce on has to initiate it legally?

> When filtered to those with a college degree it's 90%

Interesting, but why? I suspect the answer is economics.

You’re saying of all the female divorce initiators, 90% have a college degree?

Or that out of all the initiators with college degrees, 90% are women?

does mutual divorce figure into this, and if so, how is one party be both parties having a college degree counted?

I think a third option. Of all the women with college degrees who took part in a divorce, 90% were first to file.

But I dunno. Divorce stats tend to be reported with less meaningful stats that are easy to calculate, but don't mean much.
