      After years and years of this debate, I’m starting to feel like the time change is just the best compromise. Because we’re never going to satisfy the people that for some reason don’t understand that we can just start things at a different time.

      I kinda don’t, but I was surprised to learn that the country did get rid of the time change in the 70s and then within a couple years brought it back. The biggest problem was kids going to school in the dark during the winter. In some areas, the sun doesn’t rise til 8:30am.
