I could work with this person. They even take a dig at flat earthers. Plus, they're on the right side of the DST/Standard Time argument: DST only exists because golf courses want more daylight in the evening hours.
If they want to believe it's because it's not godly, then fine. I don't care why they believe it, but they don't believe in a flat Earth, and they want to repeal DST, and I can collaborate on those basis.
Wait wait wait...are you serious about the golf comment? That would be crazy if it's true!
I'm dead serious.
It's full of caveats, though. DST wasn't started by golf courses, of course. And they're not the only businesses that benefit from having more daylight hours after work, when people can go and pay for whatever activity they want to do that needs daylight. But whenever this comes up, golf course lobbies are prominent - they are either sponsoring bills to eliminate standard time, or opposing bills that eliminate DST. They want to preserve DST no matter what; knowing that many Americans would support eliminating the switch, they want it to be DST we end up with.
But, no, they aren't the moustache-twirling masterminds behind DST. They're just a prominent leader of industries that benefit from dark mornings at light evenings (vs the alternative).
