“if the US moves to UTC, everyone would change their opining hours,…”

People opine on the Internet at all hours, regardless.

The clock change is meant to track the body change which follows the sun. It is not meant to be a dislocation, except that now most of us are tied to the clock (for starting work and school) rather than the sun.

My pets know when it is time to change the clocks - they get up earlier and earlier as the days get longer.

If we didn’t change the clocks then we’d spend more morning sunshine hours sleeping and have less time after work to enjoy summer evenings. Sure, we could change work and schools hours twice a year- but that sounds a lot like daylight savings time! I suppose choice is better than forced change- good point.

The beauty of being retired is it no longer matters- I get up with the sun (and my pets) and go to sleep when I’m tired. Who cares what the clock says?
