LEAPSECS own Tony Finch has a couple of time related contributions in
the current ACM Risks Digest, including a cartoon lampooning daylight
saving time:

...as well as a more serious DST proposal, quite worthy of our
consideration:

Those interested might start by first reading a slightly more
speculative contribution ("Australia & NZ should totally abandon
Daylight Savings Time") from a different author:

Glad to see timekeeping issues receive the widespread attention they
deserve.
