I'm with you. Either that or make the day it changes a universal holiday. One or the other.
there is absolutely no reason to change the offset
All I really care about personally in the "spring" ahead. It's difficult for me to go to work with an hour less sleep. I have obligations that make it hard for me to go to bed earlier than I do.
Hear me out. We keep the fall back but remove spring forward. Yes, things will get really odd in like four years but think of the beauty of it.
I like it. It's both subversive and predictable.
We should spring ahead at 2 PM on Friday. Everyone gets to go home an hour early from work and we have the whole weekend to adjust.
That would be great for salaried employees but hourly people would either lose an hour or just have to work an hour of mandatory overtime without time and a half pay.
