I really want to smack people who say this. Changing all the schedules is simpler than resetting a clock? Really? Ah, but then YOU don't have to do it. Making someone else's problem makes it simpler, even if it's ten times harder for the poor sod who has to do it.
I am amazed every time I see this. "Daylight Saving Time is dumb. We should replace it with something that would be much more inconvenient!"
Based on past experience in 1974, if they pass it, it won't last through the winter, when everybody says, "But I don't WANNA go to work when it's still pitch-black!"

You pays your money and you takes your choice.
No, the title of the post *I replied to* was "half the country voted for this".
"Oh god, we're not making enough money. Quick, fire the people making us the most profit!"

Well, as long as you've carefully surveyed the situation...
" The assumption that a non-vote was a vote for Trump is just that, an assumption. And a bad one at that."
I'm not making that assumption. I'm just not making the assumption that a non-vote was a vote *against* Trump, which, without evidence (and no, "I talked with some of my non-voting friends" is not evidence) is an equally bad assumption.
Your analysis assumes that people who didn't vote would not have voted for Trump if they had voted. Trump doesn't have the support of half the nation now, with his approval rating in the dumpster, but I'm not convinced that was the case during the election.
First rule:
Contact the vendor via a method you already have on file. Worst case, Google a contact method. NEVER trust a link/phone number/whatever in an email, especially when it is unexpected.
There are still people out there for whom "You need to pay me in gift cards" doesn't raise all kinds of alarms?
And blackjack!
"The planets Neptune and Uranus may be better described as "magma-ocean giants""
They're *fire* giants! Quick, go get Thor.
I believe you're remembering the short story "Why Johnny Can't Speed" by Alan Dean Foster, commonly citied as one of the inspirations for the game Car Wars.
