Why can’t our Leadership pass a simple one-time annually?
OK, I’d better get ready to change all our clocks AGAIN in the Spring.

Trying to picture that "once annually" thing. :-)
Would personally prefer switching to the permanent "daylight savings time" version, preferring that it remain light out past 4:30pm come the winter solstice period.
The "midnight sun" aspect is interesting and a great point, but the "up north" thing would seem more related to where "east-west" one may reside "up north". I believe the issue is whether one lives nearer the eastern or western border of his time zone. The drive-in movie couldn't start in Louisville, KY, until nearly 10pm come summer solstice as we were on the far western edge of the eastern time zone.
Time zones and jet lag sorts of things are, to me, just about as difficult as general relativity, so I don't even try. :-) Oh, and not all time zones around the world even cut off "on the hour".
Half Hour and 45-Minute Time Zones Fascinating subject.
Had to google it as my memory was fuzzy, but it was close:
"However, the whole country observes the same local time. In theory, China could have five time zones, but the country has only one official time zone. In spite of being almost the same size as the continental USA, China has only one official time zone".
Over-thinking it, again. . . :-)
