    Oh I agree it would be utter chaos! The idea that “why does it take an act of congress to change time” on the one hand sounds crazy, but I think what I’m trying to point out is why it takes an actual act of congress — we are coordinating lots of services and activities, and no one wants to descend back to the days of no one agreeing on noon!
