I would just as soon go for coordinated universal time.
The establishment of time keeping is an invention of man to begin with.
Yeah, I agree. But good luck with that. We can't even get rid of the stupid twice a year time changes. If Coordinated Universal Time were to become standard everywhere, the clock change lovers would demand that we include Coordinated Universal Daylight Savings Time for half the year.
So we are going to just pass laws to be different than Russia? That being said I lived in Arizona a long time and I was fine with not having to change the time or friends on other states who were often confused as to what time it was in Arizona.
But how can it still be called daylight savings time when no time is being saved?
Even a relatively northern state like Indiana (mostly) didn't observe DST until as recently as 2006.
You know what I was thinking looking out the window at 4:30 AM this weekend as the sky began to brighten?
If the Standard Time cultists had their way, the sun would be starting to rise now at 3:30 AM !!!
Cultists? I am in favor of making Standard time permanent and for far more cost effective reasons that permanent Daylight Savings Time. How does that make me a cultist opposed to those who want the latter instead?
One time half hour adjustment to split the difference then leave the clocks alone.
Wouldn't this put us a half-hour out of phase with the time zones to our immediate east (Atlantic) and west (Midway/Samoa)? That said, this just might be the solution that would satisfy people the most, or at least dissatisfy people the least.

I notice most of the opposition to DST is in the western states. My solution would to have the western half of the United States revert back to standard time in November and stay there permanently. Let the eastern half of the country stay on DST permanently.
Personally, I am all for it. I hate changing the clocks and having to adjust to it.
And the house ??? What’s the consensus.?
