    Why can't we just identify whichever way we want to? I think it's still 9:38am MT right now... If you think it's 10:38am MT, you're oppressing me.

    Of course it does. If everyone is on Zulu time (aka Universal Time Coordinated or UTC), you just have to know the Z time they’re open — which for your scenario is easy, just add 3 hours to the Z-time the East Coaster used for his/her hours. Getting rid of time zones and using UTC globally makes far more sense than changing the clocks or permanently shifting your clock so the sun is overhead at 1300 instead of 1200.

    Don't worry, in a few years we'll all be on Beijing time, we'll own nothing and we'll be happy.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    If they change it to ONE time, I will not have to remember when I get in the car, if the clock is one hour earlier or later.
    I just know it is right half the year. Which half, that is when "some"timers kicks in. Some times I remember, some times I don't.

    Another vote for DST year round. With many school districts continuing the "hybrid" learning model, does it make any difference if it's dark outside? I'd much rather have sunset at 1730 than 1630 in the winter, as I have SGAD (Seasonal Grumpy Ass Disorder).

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    I’m with Aloha.. get rid of daylight savings altogether and just change the hours that are considered the standard work day. Making DST permanent fucks the whole GMT thing.
