Are you Yanks seriously not going to get this sorted out before winter? BC has moved - can at least the rest of Cascadia get their asses in gear? Come on, California, I do not want to be dealing with a north-south time zone difference with my coworkers

[ssl-3]

Yes, we won't. It turns out that we're way too terrible at being rational way too much of the time.

For DST in particular: Even discussions where the participants manage to form something resembling a quorum to stop changing the clocks twice every year somehow manage to unilaterally get sucked into a seemingly-inescapable quagmire of differing opinions, wherein: The decision of whether to use standard time and stick with it or to stick with DST instead becomes an intractable impasse.

Accordingly, nothing ever gets done.

I have every expectation that I will be dead and buried before this issue is resolved.

I think US states aren't allowed to switch unless the feds decide to allow it

[mixologic]

US States aren't allowed to have permanent DST, but they can have permanent standard time.

[kortilla]

Arizona doesn’t have it

[frollogaston]

Then get BC to change it back

[mikestorrent]

Hell no. Never going back.

[nerdsniper]

We don’t really get much of anything sorted these days.

Tough shit. I live on the eastern edge of Central Time, I don't want to be dealing with 3PM sunsets in December.

[mikestorrent]

Who gives a shit what time it happens at? It's not like you're actually making the day shorter or longer, man.

[wpm]

Because my schedule depends on my workday and everyone elses work day which doesn't shift around at all depending on the time of the year.
