Pick one either EST or DST, but keep it year round. This changing crap is well just stupid beyond belief and a pain in the butt.

If the goal is to keep the sun overhead at noon during the longer days, why not try for an international treaty to move the International Date Line 15 degrees to the west and keep calling it standard time?

Wouldn't that accomplish the same thing, but keep the sun aligned with the clock?

I was actually thinking changing the clocks ahead 10 minutes at a time each month. From July through December, change them 10 minutes forward to gain daylight at the end of the day as the sunsets are getting earlier and then starting in January and going through June, change them 10 minutes back to take advantage of the increasing daylight. That way, it’s not such a shock and you are somewhat compensating for the increasing and decreasing daylight.
