>DST means that in the norther US, children can go to and from school in daylight which has public safety benefits.

You're obviously not clear on how it works. We just left DST and went to standard time. It varies by district, but around here, school hours range from 730 AM earliest start - 330 PM latest end. If kids leave for school at 7 AM, the shift to standard time means that today they're going in what was the 8 AM morning light of yesterday. It's DST which makes it darker in the mornings, and there's plenty of light in the afternoon whether DST or not.

Before commenting on US politics, you should take some time to acquire more than a "very little understanding of" them: US 22nd Amendment.

I own, but do not operate, a few IT companies that manage corporations in the $600MM-$1B receivables range.

Based on our own help desk ticket software, our clients have opened 40% fewer tickets since ChatGPT was rolled out to every desk and phone. 40%. I expect another 40% drop (total 80%) by next year as end users just manage things themselves.

I won't downsize as the tickets aren't really generating revenue as much as headaches. One of my engineers had a broken PDF file that took her 6 hours to fix, and the end user spent 6 days trying to fix it themselves with Ai.

But -- the basic stuff? Reboot your computer stuff? Email rejected because you mistyped a domain name stuff?

You don't need a human, and we would probably have outsource that stuff to India anyway next year if not for ChatGPT etc.
