I seem to recall that Shemya was four hours different from Anchorage at one
time. I know the difference between there and east coast was substantial, as I
recall watching evening network shows on satellite feeds in the late morning.

The time zones get pretty small when you get far north, and the
Aleutian Islands string out over several. I had a friend stationed on

They do show the western Aleutians as being in a separate time zone. I was
wondering about that, since they used to be several time zones west of
Anchorage when I visited them.
That is a LONG way out there from the mainland. Nice place to visit, but
believe me, you don't want to stay there...

For giggles Alaska has one time zone. They used to have four, but that made
for issues doing business.Now it is all based on SE. Sun up in Juneau is
the same time as the last island in the Aleutian chain. Sun will not get up
for four more hours. And to make it all even stupider, they do
put the middle of the day it'll be wrong for
somebody. Imagine all the third shift workers getting cheated out of daylight...

There you have the crux of the matter - there is no "country" without DC.
You might like your State, but mine is run by total wacko's that make DC
look like paradise.
The idea of States was born when each one thought it ought to be it's own
country. It wouldn't work then and won't work now.

I agree with some of what you say - specifically, the lobbying part.

Click and Clack had a great idea for replacing DST, basically it was a
week-day thing, so we spent less time at work and more time at home (or
napping at work).
I think they also figured out how to make the work-week shorter and
weekends longer. Now THERE is an idea with merit!

Everyone should move into the same time zone - the Washington, D.C. metro
area This not only obviates the need to bicker about time zones but also
broadens our tax base while providing a broad constituency to grant D.C.
Statehood.

With perpetual DST, there would be a lot of children walking to school and
waiting for the bus in the dark, especially on the western edges of time zones.
Frankly (unlike 1940) most jobs do not depend on daylight and office buildings

DST is not the problem, the problem is changing the clocks twice a year.
DST is great, since we would never get all the businesses and government
offices to work 7-4 instead of 8-5. Getting home earlier to have another
hour before dark is great. Emotionally it's harder to get to work at 7 than
