I disagree totally...................the 3 hour time difference extends the work hours 3 hours longer to purchase goods.

Anyone with a wife knows that is not a good thing.

I am indifferent to Daylight Savings changes. Some good, some bad, it does not matter much. My one issue is a automated clock I own. Usually when the battery is getting low the second hand stops moving. So next daylight saving day I change the battery. naturally the clock goes crazy. It will spin the hands around and around and stop at some random place. I have learned to just ignore it... And the next day it will 'magically' have reset itself to the correct time, at some point I was not watching! The joy of technology...

Jet lag is a consequence of circadian misalignment and not really a function of "clock time". But it would probably impact business practices.

You mean jet lag isn’t a consequence of several bourbons on the rocks while you try to sleep in some uncomfortable position?

No, it's about the inability to sleep and dream about the days when Stewardesses were actually young good looking hotties.........

Hey - I resemble that remark!
I went from frequent flyer Platinum kiss-my-ass to a Silver nobody in a year and it is awesome! No more 24 hour multi-leg flights to Asia. Yea!

One’s frequent flyer status is inversely related to one’s quality of life.
