Most of the world doesn’t observe DST. Living without DST is absolutely fine.
I want to believe one day I will be rid of DST.
we tried that here in Washington state, USA, in the 1970s. It made kids walk to school in absolute darkness among other problems.
In Germany, in winter it’s also dark at 8:00 AM CET (standard time) when the pupils go to school. With DST it would then become dark at about 17:00 instead of 16:00.
Edit: Actually, school starts at 8:00, so the pupils are on their way already earlier.
Why don’t they just change what time school starts?
that would be too easy.
lol
This map is a handy tool to compare the latitudes between Europe and USA. Most of Europe is more in the North
I know, Rome and Madrid are approximately on the same latitude as NY.
Countries near the Arctic circle would like a word 😆 What a non issue.
Russia abolished DST maybe 10 years ago and it went very well
Russia model country, best country. /s
But you gotta respect a good decision. Good on them.
