We do, when we can... but my company in particular is a broker... so we do business with many companies most of them local to the origin of whatever it is we're moving. While trying not to heavily insult their intelligence... the best thing I could say is "They're good at driving trucks".
Honestly, it's worse to dispatch trucks in America. What with half of some states observing DST and all... It's very difficult to have a driver say "I can deliver by 2200" and they're talking EST which is actually CDT and the customer is in EDT. So they get their stuff at 2300 instead. How do you tell your customer "Oh, I'm sorry. We forgot that Indiana is in a temporal flux."
I think the whole hullaballo over saving 1% of our energy costs is negligible to the amount of time, effort and energy needed to compensate for for time zone variances. While I think the whole time zone system could use some serious work, for now it seems effective to have time only changed for regional purposes and not seasonal purposes.
Essentially, stop the whole idiocy of springing forward and falling back. The time should be constant year round world wide.
If you've seen the series then you'll know there's lots of unanswered questions, plot strings and the like (Since Joss planned the show out for the usual 22 episodes) and we were just getting into what the "Big Bad" was during episode 14.
Watching the trailer, I'd say that the movie will answer quite a few questions and undoubtedly set up some new ones.
Like any property making the jump from TV show to big screen movie, I imagine there will be some quick-paced re-introduction to our characters, brief alludes to their pasts and all that good stuff. Hopefully enough that Serenity will draw in new "Browncoats" for the fight as I myself will be taking many virgin viewers to this flick even if it's half as good as the TV show.
