Donald Trump railed against Sen. Tom Cotton in a series of posts on Saturday, accusing the Arkansas Republican of holding up a bill that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent and encouraging people to call the senator at his cellphone number.

          You’re the one who want the clock to be permanently wrong (off from solar noon) just to keep the number unchanged on your schedule, that’s pretty crazy. You can just have the clock be correct and change your schedule.

          “that’s not how it works” yeah I know you’ve abandoned the idea of negotiating with employers dude, that’s your problem not mine

              That just means your circadian rhythm and your schedule are crazy. The clock matching the sun is simply correct. You just need to relearn what numbers goes with what degree of daylight.

                  Why does it matter so much what the number is on the clock then that you want the clock to be permanently offset instead of accurate? We can have the clock be simple and make sense and let some people adjust once to the number having changed. You’ll be doing the same things at the same solar time anyway, now with a correct clock attached.

                    In the practical sense it matters because solar noon is at different time in the same place, but that difference is about 20 minutes, not that much. And it’s different in different places, too, that means it’s going to require a lot more time zones depending on how precise you want to be.
