I'm seeing this #TimeChange issue as an incremental fight.

All the evidence, and my personal sense, is that our current schedule on standard time is what feels best, and #DST is less in tune with my internal clock.

For now I'd take even a move to just stop the clock changes first, then push for one more change (ASAP) to correct to #StandardTime.

A worry though is that politicians will see discomfort with permanent DST as 'failure' and think the remedy is to go back to clock switching.

@ottaross I'm never phased by the time change. It's just A Thing that's part of life. Fine if people want to get rid of the time change; but if we're doing that I'd rather Standard Time. I get that people want the extra daylight, but you're sacrificing the morning when it's going to be super dark in the until like 9am.

Either way some people will be unhappy.

edit: we need to stick to one and simply adapt.

I like Standard Time around the world because it is neater, provides a gradual change as you travel. Instead of 2-hour or 0-hour jumps depending on random historical factors.

If people don't like waking up in the dark, change business hours.
