Move the school starts later. Problem solved.

Why not just start school later?

I've heard it's so parents can get the kids to school at 0800 and then start job a 0900. But why school is out at 1500 and job at 1700 is a mystery.

It also improves the rush hours by enlarging the time range. Most jobs start at 9am or later, so if kids also started at 9am or later the morning rush hour (for traffic but also public transportation) would be even worse.

School ends at 3pm so that the teachers, who work a 9-5 like you, get two hours after class to grade homework and prepare lessons for the next school day.

I do not believe that teachers are working 9-5 if the children are arriving at 8am. Though to be fair I don't either, so doesn't much matter.

"But why school is out at 1500 and job at 1700 is a mystery."

Same here. And I've never figured out why DST fades the curtains.


Protestant work ethic? I know it's a terrible reason. Seems to be the reason, though.

DST and time zones have been invented much later than Protestantism, so I wouldn’t worry about the ethical part specifically

Intentional.

I know.

You should be like '$10,000,000 please'

Dont be ridiculous. He needs to make it deployable by normies and hype it up on twitter first. then he could ask for 10mil

A fun alternative could be using a physically based engine sound synthesizer - for example - https://github.com/Engine-Simulator/engine-sim-community-edi...
