<div>That is the whole case for summer and winter offsets. The problem is some people would prefer just to use the summer offset all year. I'm not convinced either way. Using a 'summer' setting may simplify some things and switching to it in spring gives two periods when one is blinded driving into the sun in the morning. Just using the unadjusted time is equally right in many latitudes? No compeling case for any one option :(<br/>

They're actually less stupid than you imply - it can be almost impossible <br/>
for many employers to alter their employees work times, because they're all <br/>
intertwined with all kinds of external relationships, and attempting to adjust <br/>
them all, at the same time, would be a task beyond comprehension - but it is <br/>
easy to alter the position of the sun wrt the value shown on the clock - for <br/>
everyone - at the stroke of a pen. <br/>
