Time zones are something that should be federally mandated, not decided in piecemeal like this. They are just creating a fucking mess.

- devy 8y agoExactly my point! Federal mandate and ditching DST!
- magduf 8y agoThat sounds good in theory, but it doesn't work in practice. The last time the Federal government mandated something related to time zones, it was when George W Bush changed the days of DST, expanding it. It was a giant mess, and studies showed that instead of saving energy as was the claimed rationale, it instead ended up costing a lot of money and wasting more energy; a "fucking mess" as you put it. If we had a Federal government that actually knew WTF it was doing, your idea would make sense. You really think the Trump Administration could make sensible timezone policy decisions?
