It screws corporations as well, anyone that has a database or deals with time in any way. I'd call it a huge hazard technilogically to willy nilly change the time for no reason.

We have been changing the time for 70+ years. Nothing about it is Willy nilly. There is a reason. The reason may invalid at this point.

This same bullshit could be said about jetlag simply moving to a different time zone has worse effects than a single hour shift, yet many people do it 10s if not hundreds of times a year.

It's so stupid to argue about this whole thing from a health perspective and using that as if its some kind of disease.

So stupid

If there were two days a year that 300 million people took a flight that gave them all jetlag simultaneously, you'd probably tell them to stop though, right?

I have no idea what you mean.

Who is telling who to stop what?

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
