Default The voice of reason...

It seems that while most people like to get more daylight later in the summer, they don't like that hour jump in March and September when we switch between EST and DST.

The solution is simple.

Instead of moving the clock ahead an hour every March, we should start advancing it by just 2 minutes per week in March and then start falling back 2 minutes per week in November. This will gradually lengthen the amount of daylight in the evening. The implementation is simple. Cell phones and Internet connected equipment will adjust automatically. Through frequent practice, people will finally be able to remember just how to set their watches and car clocks without finding the manuals. The clocks on the stove and microwave will continue to blink as usual.

Many communists and flat-earthers will disagree with my solution, but this is too important an issue to just "kick the can down the road".
