      Why change the time for everyone when you can just adjust “working” hours. People who do shift work or work retail and other non- white-collar jobs are collateral damage. Roofers and farmers change their start and stop times baes on light and heat conditions.

      Just start at a different time. Time is based (roughly) on the global position from a reference mark. Stop fucking with it.

      This only works if everyone in the country starts and stops work/school at the exact same time which isn’t possible.

        Local businesses and governments already shift their hours to be open when people are awake and available regardless of whatever arbitrary thing the clock says…

        If DST and Standard Time are functionally equivalent for all intents and purposes, why not just stick with the simpler one?
