Re: "Permanent" DST

[Eric Tykwinski <eric-list () truenet com>]

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.
