If a goal is for a myriad companies and entities of all shapes and sizes and with wildly differing priorities, timelines and focus, to all do exactly the same thing at exactly the same time... isn't a government decree exactly the right tool for the job?

Liiiiike making everybody move over to DST before making the time permanent?

I mean, sure, we're pretty used to doing it, but that's a sunk cost fallacy, isn't it? Better to freeze the time zones before forcing everyone going through it?

Yes, but why is the goal to make _everyone_ shift? I want a diversity of schedules so that commutes, errands, etc, are all more spread out.
