Very insightful and timely article. Probably just as insightful and timely as the same article written last year and the year before and the year before that. We will never tire of being reminded to move our clocks forward or backward. Personally, I'm tempted to just opt out and live with the consequences.

I feel the same way.

I am interested in hearing your thoughts on how this would play out in hypothetical scenarios?

Here is one to start... Scheduling an event for March 10, 2024... We agree to meet at 10am EST.

Some show up at 10am DST (11am) others show up at the correct time 10am.

FOMO may be strong enough that the others are the majority and one simple world event ditches the fallacy.

I have an old friend that never changed his clocks when the uniform time act was implemented. Strong will and one of the few that was always actually on time.
