I’m all for giving up the time change, but the standard should probably still be UTC offset.

That's literally what the text of the bill does.

What I don’t understand, is why change time, just change working hours.

If you work 9-5, change it to 10-6.  Every company can post working hours on their website.
Obviously for most of us, it’s a moot point.

P.S.  Anyone working at NIST or a similar org probably needs a raise for dealing with all the exceptions.

In a unanimous vote today, the US Senate approved a bill which would

My opinion of this ought to be obvious from my rhetoric.  Hopefully, it will
fail, because it's likely to be the end of rational time worldwide, and even
if you do log in UTC, it will still make your life difficult.

I'm poleaxed; I can't even decide which grounds to scream about this on...

Hopefully, the House or the White House will be more coherent in their
decision on this engineering construct.
