“They” are capable of dealing with multiple issues at the same time. That’s why we elect them. Plus, this particular issue should be such a nothingburger, and from a logistical standpoint, actually is the opposite of expending effort to make it happen. We keep making a bigger deal out of doing away with the time change than we need to be and ultimately it ends up failing cause “OMG - change.”

The site I fly at the most (Marshall/Crestline in Southern California), access to multiple launches in the Owens Valley, and several others are all potentially up for grabs.
