    It doesn’t even matter which they pick, just pick one! We’re free to live our lives independently from the clock. There’s no natural law that states work starts at 8.

      Isn’t the most important industry dependent(photosynthesis doesn’t wait for you) on the clock? I guess you mean the numbers we choose don’t really matter, then I agree.

        Yes, it could say alpha for all I care. As you say, the sun dictates the day, not our clock, but the grindset is so entrenched that it’s easier to change clocks than individual work settings.

        If Spain chooses to continue to synchronize opening hours with central Europe, they can do that regardless of what the number on the clock is.
