Ah, good point, but the "academic day" just plain starts late. This way, I also get to miss rush hour.

Okay, now you're pushing the blame a little too far. Are you telling me you've never slept/woke up an hour early or late in your life? Moreover, the changeover is on a Sunday just to prevent your Monday driving scenario. We've been doing this for decades, I've almost never had problems.

You say this as if it was set in stone. It's not. It's shifted over the decades.

At this point, two states ignore it in the US: Arizona and Hawaii. Not very confusing at all. I think you just like to complain.
