You could overlay this map onto the enthusiasm for permanent DST and see a pretty good pattern. Those of us on the western edge of a time zone have a lot to lose in that scenario(9AM sunrises) where folks on the eastern edges would be worse off in a permanent ST plan (3pm sunsets).

Pretty much the real reason for the time change imo. If you pick a permanent time, there are winners and losers. So… we keep doing this dumb shit.

Everyone should just switch to zulu time, and each area can set their normal operation hours. Companies don't really follow 8-5 strictly anyway.

When did 9-5 become 8-5? I’ve seen it written multiple times recently.

When was it ever 9-5? My entire adult life normal working hours has always been 8-5 with a 1 hour lunch.
