Standard Time Facing Imminent Collapse!

An important public service announcement regarding common acronyms appended to displayed time for those in the relevant time zones:

As of 2:00 AM local time on March 10, 2024, the relevant times zones should proceed from standard time to Daylight Saving Time.

The change should be immediately noticeable based on the loss of one sleep hour. Additional changes include the Sun suddenly setting an hour later.

The Sun will not change anything. Your time devices will be changing.

This adjustment must be accompanied by ceasing the employment of "EST", "CST", "MST" and "PST" in the United States. Continuing to employ those appendages will only indicate a failure to recognize the actual meanings of those acronyms.

Until October 3, please append times with "EDT" in the Eastern Zone of the US, "CDT" in the Central Zone, "MDT" for the Mountain Zone and yes, as the pattern dictates, "PDT" for the Pacific Zone.

Failure to follow these guidelines could result in arriving an hour late to meetings, not to mention vital doctor appointments and first-time dates conducted over multiple time zones.

The recommended mitigation is to demand the removal of Daylight Saving Time. An operational workaround is to synchronize all time devices to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
