I don't really understand why everyone seems to think that it's necessary to go to work at the same "time" each day. Why not let "time" stay the same all year b

  Because a lot of systems depend on the "time". As a simple example, the software that the workers use to "sign in" and "sign out" for the day depends on it, and needs bi-yearly updates. A lot of automated systems like ATM machines, telephone plans, etc. depend on the "time", and they require less maintenance if the time doesn't need to change twice a year.

  Yes, that would make more sense.

  If you think it's hard keeping track of DST changes, imagine what it's going to be like when business hours, daycare hours, train schedules, recurring meeting times, TV shows, and everything else you're used to having at particular times suddenly start shifting randomly and uncoordinatedly. Or do you mean everyone will shift their hours in unison at the start and end of winter? If so, how is that any different from Daylight Saving?
