Just shorten the work day, you capitalist pigs.

Also, China is one big time zone. How does that work? They all start school/work the same time? Or are there unofficial time zones where people shifted their day?

    back when I was (even more) lib I remember reading The Economist, or some capitalist rag, about how setting your clock to Xinjiang Time was an act of defiance against the state and that people were punished for it. that turned out to be bullshit when I looked into it and was helpful in realizing how much I was being lied to all the time

      Something like would never happen in the US. People are free to go about their day however they like, and definitely get to control their schedule and definitely not beholden to Jody at work, who puts the schedule out late Friday afternoon for Monday after I've already left and now I need to call into work just to figure out if I work tomorrow

        imagining Arizona State Police battering down the door of an office because their clocks observe Daylight Savings Time

      I spent a few weeks there, working on Beijing time, and I must admit. It was pretty nice. Waking up at 7, I could go for a morning jog with the sunrise. Then after work there would be another 5 hours of daylight. But it was confusing because if you asked anybody what time it was, they would tell you the local time. Nobody does official time there.
