I agree permanent standard time is a better solution. But maybe we change work to 8-4 from 9-5 and might be better that way anyway.

Why not change the working hours of stores, and tv programming and other schedules too?

In the end, you get the same thing as a clock change, but having to change the times of everything everywhere.

Yes which is why I said permanent standard would be better than permanent daylight

What's TV programming? :-)

Stores already open across a spectrum of times.

Does anybody actually work 9-5 (ie 7 hours assuming they take a break or two)?

[BeetleB]

Most of us.

(It's actually 8-5 with an hour's break).

[alistairSH]

Which was my point - 9-5 isn't really a thing, it's usually 8-5 or 9-6 or worse. If we're going to adjust time zone, we should at least agree on when most people are/are-not at the office/school/farm fields/etc.

Fuck all the night owls, right?
