It's October, soon we'll switch to winter time. Does anybody know what happened to the suggestion to remove it? Englisch

I've been waiting for years for this to finally be approved. I can't stand Daylight Saving Time, only serves to make me tired for the next month while I adjust, twice per year. It's a relic from the past and many countries are moving towards removing it or have removed it already altogether.

I can't stand winter time, would love DST all year long. Its so depressing to have the sun set before I finish work and come home when its pitch black...

It clearly seems like something designed by people who get up at 04:00 and are asleep by 20:00.

It was, but also we have the same time in most EU, so at the west or east extremities either winter or summer time is quite wrong (or even both). Synchronized time is handy for international relations, though.

Honestly, just give me one time for everything world-wide and then have - gasp - people get up at different times. It would make things so much easier.

Aweful idea: do you want to plan a meeting at 16:00 with colleagues in the US? It is very hard to tell if this makes sense without timezones. Is this in their working day? Or the equivalent of midnight? Or something else? There are no timezones, so there is no way of telling without looking at some shady website how many hours you are shifted - which is basically the concept of timezones anyway, but shittier.
