Also a society where we get fucked up the ass by work and are expected to take it as an honour to even be employed in the first place, and only the execs get to start and end whenever they want so this would never affect them other than if they wanted to birddog.

The time change is also swapped from what would seem logical to me iirc. I would rather just stick with the one that would result in getting up before the sun for part of the year. I put in my time regularly getting up before 4am to drive in the dogforsaken darkness to get to work an hour or so away assuming no rockslide remediation, and often still just barely not get there before the train blocks the road for hours at a time, making all of us late. If that's weak then everyone is weak.
