They picked wrong.

They should have picked Standard Time.

As someone else pointed everyone is already on DST for approximately 65% of the year. This just removes the remaining 35%. Picking standard time would have been a much bigger change.

Ultimately, it's entirely arbitrary anyway. The only issue is that American states cannot pick DST without a federal law change.

Metric time would have been better.
