I’m all for giving up the time change, but the standard should probably still be UTC offset.
That's literally what the text of the bill does. On Tue, Mar 15, 2022 at 5:08 PM Eric Tykwinski <eric-list () truenet com> wrote:
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. P.S. Anyone working at NIST or a similar org probably needs a raise for dealing with all the exceptions.

My opinion of this ought to be obvious from my rhetoric. Hopefully, it will fail, because it's likely to be the end of rational time worldwide, and even if you do log in UTC, it will still make your life difficult. I'm poleaxed; I can't even decide which grounds to scream about this on... Hopefully, the House or the White House will be more coherent in their decision on this engineering construct.
