That is correct.
And on the day you change your clocks, the earth will complete somewhat more than one rotation.

I don't think we are. The nit that was being picked, so to speak, is the idea of the government controlling time.
Well, on that, I'm in agreement with you. I just thought to clarify the sentiment. To an extent, the government is issuing a law which shifts time one hour forward or backwards depending on the season, but all of the congress's and parliaments in the world can't change the momentum of Earth. They can only force outdated fluctuating time standards on its citizenry, which results in momentary confusion and inconvenience, which is the topic.
There's what you love to do, and then there's what you get paid to do. Those two things are often different.

Re: Daylight Savings Time is Fascism
This is how British TV deals with FASCIST Daylight Savings Time -- an advisory advert from Radox bubble bath (some US prudes and/or homophobes might consider this ad racy and perhaps NSFW, though it really only shows a torso and thus is technically safe)
