You can muck with the hands or digits on your clocks all you want. It will make not one iota in the lightness or darkness of mornings or evenings anywhere. That is controlled by the tilt and speed of the Earth's rotation, not the arbitrary numbers on your clock.
No. The quirk here is that this whole argument is ridiculous. The "clock" is a figment of our imaginations instituted to coordinate cooperation between people. There is literally no other reason for having a clock other than to be able to agree on when events will occur. Modifying the clock twice a year upsets the coordination, the only point in having the damn thing in the first place.
So? Go to the school board meeting or talk to your manager to get the start/stop time changed. Why do we need to fuck up every clock in the nation twice a year to accomodate local variances?
Power brokers and the "learned scholars" seem to always think the system is broken when normal people get more information and then don't bend to their will. Maybe the solution you envision from your ivory tower surrounded by your walled gardens isn't the world we want to live in.
You could have went down to the local drug store and got the same glasses off the shelf for $10. Even grocery stores sell reading glasses in various strengths for around $10.
I sprung for the $20 version the last time. They fold up into a little case that I can stick in my pocket.
You go to the eye doctor (paid for by the insurance). Many people won't even know what the real charges are. You're examined, then ushered out to the eye glass sales side of the business. The doctor uses her air of authority to make it seem that buying the glasses there is the right thing to do...and besides, the insurance says you get one pair per year. You shop for style instead of price.
What woke me up to this dynamic? Being our of insurance and having to pay my own way. When quoted $400 I just told the guy, "I'm not interested in paying that for reading glasses." You'd have thought I'd hit him over the head with the chair I was sitting in. It was like he had never heard that before. I walked out without glasses, and searched for cheaper solution. Found Zenni, and now I'm doing just fine.
The only "failure" in the market is missing information. Go to https://www.zennioptical.com/ for your glasses. Tell the eye doctor your doing it and that their prices are ridiculous. They won't like you. But if enough people do it, they'll drop their prices.
$50 is their top of the line stuff. I get the $15 glasses that the doctor tried to sell me for $400. I've bought enough pairs that I spread them around the house and in my car so that I don't have to look for them.

Unless it is DST switchover time. Then it might in fact be right three times in one day.
You need to pull up a news outlet that will let you hear about Ilhan Omar's repeated antisemitic remarks.
Or, just continue on in your willful ignorance and hero worship of all things Democrat. Your choice.
Doesn't need the media if you are at least know how to speak English. Foreigners know better English than many native speakers.
WOW! And you did that with a straight face. I'm at a loss for words.
You're pissed off by an arbitrary number on a dumb device?
Dude, you should really get out more.

A different answer would be to change the school hours.
The solution to that is to talk to your manager and get your work hours shifted.
I hope you actually realize that fucking with a clock doesn't change what the sun does.

You will find black markets in every communist country. My wife is from Poland, and she tell me that is where they got most everything they wanted.
It's just the distance between the pupils in mm. No special ruler needed.
Looking in a mirror, measure the distance between your pupils in mm. That is the only number you need.
Those mortgage back derivatives were a device made possible by your old friends, the market-fixing Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.
If the government hadn't been forcing banks to make loans to people that couldn't afford them, there wouldn't have been a bubble and a crash.
I'm a pilot. Polarized glasses are a no-no. That glare my be the only thing to be seen of that other airplane before you're too close for comfort.

With the largest megacorp of all being government.
I was free to purchase my $15 glasses instead of the $400 ones the eye doctor was trying to foist on me, so I don't think it is THAT much of a lie.
The roadblock is insurance and laziness.

Go to a local drug store.
They'll have a rack of $10 glasses that serve most people's needs.

How is his model wrong? Does your doctor give you a price list before recommending treatment?
