You must have had too many homebrews already, if you think that the
whole world is on flex-time.

I hate to disillusion you, but the majority of the American workforce is
stuck with fixed hours, and by setting the hour earlier, they get to
enjoy an hour more of sunlight than they would otherwise, having to get
up and go to work exactly at a given time.

What this extra hour of sunlight in the evening does for their sleep
schedules is not too nice, however . . .
