Now is our chance to switch to European style "you pay the price it says on the shelf"!

I don't think this will happen in our lifetimes. It's like not moving the day hour ahead/behind twice a year. A wholly stupid idea that will likely never be fixed on the federal level because of inertia.

That makes too much sense, which is why it won't happen. Though I'd be all for it.
