I agree. Abolish "Daylight Savings Time".
What it does best is get animals killed on the roads because traffic is shifted one hour away from their observed norm.
Simplicity is better.

It also killing people mentally. This talks on abolishing daylight savings time at the highest levels is every year topic even in highest institutions but each time they prolong the ditch of if for one more year. I doubt we gonna se any actual action about this problem we all agre is the problem but those who can do somethin about it rather not touch it.
Plenty of countries have abolished it already and more do all the time.
It's just the usual bureaucratic foot-dragging that's keeping things static in much of the "first world".
What, seriously 😳 I didn't know that.
I thought we need to switch together all around the world at once.
Good to see that's not the case and we are moving in the right direction.
We should done this 30+ years ago but better later then never.

All of Asia has abolished it, most of Australia and most of Latin America. 🥳
We had a vote in Europe to abolish it which passed overwhelmingly and was supposed to have been turned into European law, years ago. It still hasn't happened because they can't decide if they want to stay on the winter time or the summer time.
I personally don't observe daylight savings time.
My personal laptop (which is also my phone) automatically adjusts so if I'm scheduling something with others I have that time for reference.
My work laptop is in a different time zone (where most of my team is) and also automatically adjusts so I have that time for reference.
But my home & car clocks and sleep schedule didn't change. Thankfully I have the freedom to work an hour later or earlier without special permission.
If also kills people with accidents and heart attacks.
