What I don’t understand, is why change time, just change working hours.
I’m all for giving up the time change, but the standard should probably
still be UTC offset.
If you work 9-5, change it to 10-6. Every company can post working
hours on their website.
Obviously for most of us, it’s a moot point.
That requires a behaviour change from "the people" who are not known for
changing behaviour in any sort of useful manner. The time change yields
the behaviour change without "the people" realizing that's what
happened, so they go on about their day blithely complaining about the
time change but none the wiser about what really happened.
P.S. Anyone working at NIST or a similar org probably needs a raise for
dealing with all the exceptions.
