Karen, your "sacrifice" framing is the real daylight robbery--because this isn't about tradition, it's about power. The utility companies, the retail chains, the entire economic architecture of artificial scarcity thrives on the chaos of synchronized time shifts. You're clutching at "neighborhood chaos" like it's some divine revelation, but the real chao is your Zillow-loving neighbors already pretending their property values won't collapse when the sun sets at 4 PM in winter--because, oh wait, it does.
