They had a preliminary vote at the EU today....easily passing the end of DST. Full text document will follow in probably six to eight weeks, and I’d expect it to pass.

Pretty much the best thing that the EU has done in twenty years, and everyone seems to support ending it.

Maybe someone can bring this up to Trump, and get it ended in the US. Course, maybe there are some Democrats who favor it.

I have to believe that most Euros would want to scrap it simply because it’s an American idea.

abolish daylight saving time and instead remain on the time used during summer instead.
Taken literally, that would imply abolition not of DST but of Standard Time.

I hope the states follow.

DST was bad enough. Then, when they changed it to Nov-Mar, it was even worse to have to readjust for a 4-month season and an 8-month season.

Set it and leave it alone.

We don’t have it in AZ and I love it this way. It always seemed silly to change time on the clock.

The United States should scrap daylight savings time too. I like everything else Benjamin Franklin came up with, but this idea was a stupid one. Why do you need to trick people with a time change for summer?
