I honestly don’t care which is picked. I just want the change to go away.

Fair. When the railroads in the US pushed for time zones we moved away from noon being the time when the sun was directly overhead to more of an average time when the sun was over essentially the middle of the zone. Now Congress is saying that noon is 1 hour before when the sun is overhead. That was true for half the year. Now it will always be true. We’re abstracting what noon is even further.
