If Canada doesn't do the same thing at the same time, it'll be a real hassle, dealing with a change from -8 to -7 crossing the border between BC and WA, for instance. It has to be done consistently throughout North America. On Tue, 15 Mar 2022 at 12:35, Jay R. Ashworth <jra () baylink com> wrote:
The bill is "permanently move all US time zones one hour earlier (-8 thru -5 is replaced permanently with -7 thru -4). They are *calling it* "permanent DST", but that's not really what's happening, in my engineering appraisal. Or my geopolitical one, but I don't lay claim to professional opinions there. -- jra ----- Original Message -----From: "Mel Beckman" <mel () beckman org> To: "jra" <jra () baylink com> Cc: "nanog () nanog org list" <nanog () nanog org> Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2022 3:19:11 PM Subject: Re: "Permanent" DSTI don’t follow why cancelling DST has the effect of moving the US fifteen degrees to the east. Also, your subject line reads “permanent DST”, butfromyour language the bill will be permanent standard time. I haven’t read the bill, but I’m hoping you can explain your positionmoreclearly. -mel via cellOn Mar 15, 2022, at 3:13 PM, Jay R.

My opinion of this ought to be obvious from my rhetoric. Hopefully, itwillfail, because it's likely to be the end of rational time worldwide, andevenif 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 thison...Hopefully, the House or the White House will be more coherent in their decision on this engineering construct.
