We're trying, but the Sunshine Protection Act is stuck in congress. They're tying themselves in knots trying to figure out which time we should settle on. Like, I don't give a duck, just pick one and move on! Ask the farmers and other outdoor workers what they prefer, the rest of us can deal. They're concerned about traffic and whatever when we've seen that time changes cause lost productivity every single year. So infuriating, can't help but waste time on the simplest things.

That's where the social network comes in. Have all farmers in a channel and let them vote.

But let's not forget powerful people who want sunrise in their breakfast room at a certain time. It's stupid but those concerns should also be respected, among many others that can be considered when the requirements are collected.
