Latest article I could find is this one: https://www.thejournal.ie/eu-plans-to-abolish-clock-changes-6024800-Mar2023/
I know the EU can be a bit slow, but the vote was held in 2019, seems like enough time elapsed since then.
Arizona and Hawaii don’t switch their clocks to this day, I don’t know if they’re aligned with “DST” or “Standard” time which I can never keep track of which is which so I call them “summer” and “winter” time.
Standard time is winter time. I never remember what daylight savings time is either. In German it’s just summer time and normal time/winter time. You’re not actually saving any daylight by moving the clocks around!
There is a bit of leeway which time zone to choose. I mean Spain and Poland are doing fine too. But 1 hour offset from normal seems to be the limit of what is reasonable.
This whole discussion would be useless if we just introduce flexible working hours and have school start an hour late. Instead of 9-5 you’d have 10-6 and people won’t have to get up as early.
