The amazing thing about daylight savings is that we would rather *mess with the definition of time itself* than give people the freedom and flexibility to start their day an hour earlier or later as they see fit. Problems can only be solved through coercive conformity.
@attoparsec yea, this sounds very progressive and social, untill your train is one hour late. Or worse, it left an hour ago.
It's not about coercion, it's about coordination.
