[FRIAM] Obligatory (and gratuitous?) screed about time changes.

[Steve Smith]

as we all know I'm no fan of semi-annual clock changes... and I thought 
the Sunshine Act 
<https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/623>would put 
an end to that nonsense even if did fall on the "wrong side" with a 
year-round DST timesqew.   Looks like it is going to fail despite 
bipartisan support in the Senate (unsurprising that Florida, closest to 
the equator, effected least, would be the one to sponsor/promote it?)...

Oregon (in coordination with CA/WA) have tried to take things into their 
own hands independent of the rest of the country?

I suppose I could live with the sqew and just change the idioms from 12 
noon and 12 midnight to 11 noon and 11 midnight and call it a 
day/year/life.   Seems like it would just make more sense to sqew the 
8-5 (or 9-4) for bankers) an hour earlier instead, but what is the point 
of having a state/federal/global government if it isn't going to decide 
for you how we index time?
