I really hope we don't end up failing to end DST again because people are fighting over permanent standard vs DST. Just end the atrocity that's switching time. Yeah, I have a preference for permanent DST, but that's a minor issue compared just keeping things fixed.

There's never going to be one right answer for everyone between the two, with differences in schedule, as well as all the differences in sunrise sunset time due to latitude and whether you're on the eastern vs western end of a time zone.

But get the clocks fixed and then people can try to work out the other issues locally make the greatest share of people happy. Worried about children going to school in the dark in the winter where you live? Convince the school board to push back the start time of school.

There will be growing pains/headaches involved, but the first and most important step is still to stop forcing everyone to adjust their entire life schedule biannually.

Yeah the scaling is relative to the best/worst teams offensively/defensively. I think the movement of the axes is to represent the scaling of the mean/median values since this appears to be based on actual ORTG/DRTG rather than rank, but I’m also too drunk presently to determine whether that actually makes sense.

Regardless, an excellent visualization.
