      This only works if everyone in the country starts and stops work/school at the exact same time which isn’t possible.

        Local businesses and governments already shift their hours to be open when people are awake and available regardless of whatever arbitrary thing the clock says…

        If DST and Standard Time are functionally equivalent for all intents and purposes, why not just stick with the simpler one?
