The atomic clock sites send out an absolute time in UTC (which doesn't

converting to the appropriate timezone.

Somone called a radio talk show asking how the government generates
the extra daylight? can you imagine that

That's one of the problems with daylight saving time, some people get
the idea that it actually affects time, rather than just being a mind
trick. Most TALK that way.

The amount of daylight in a particular area depends on the Earth's
axial tilt, which is still way beyond any government's ability to
control. You can imagine what would be required to alter that, and in
just a PART of the world.
