but it is pure hell for those of use who work by the sun, ESPECIALLY on the western edge of the time zone.

It isn't just a time inconvenience for me and my sleep. it also involves conflicts with many things being on the western edge. I farm and we work by the sun and with the wonderful addition. The parts stores close an hour earlier making it really difficult when they close and we have 5 more hours of working time instead of 4. We do have families and I unlike the ones living, on the eastern edge have to do the sacrificing.

you can all get your shit from Mexico. I am retiring
