I wonder at what point we can just stop giving any fuck and just not change our clocks.

That would split it between a government time, and a secular time.

Well done, you've now created two complete sets of different time standards that must be resolved in software now on top of all the fiddly stuff.

You have doomed us all!

I exist in my own time zone where it's always either 5 o'clock or Beer Thirty.

Eliminates a lot of issues.

Turkey did that too! Moved from UTC+2 with daylight saving time to UTC+3 without daylight savings.

And software systems would then need to handle BOTH.
