It's funny how the majority of people can't get politicians to undo DST for decades now. Makes the tiny change in healthcare for some look like a major miracle.

I think they just altered the DST start/end days, I remember it used to end before Halloween until too many kids got hit or killed by cars in the dark.
- Mountain_Skies 7y agoIn the US the dates of DST were changed during the Bush administration as a cheap political gimmick to make it look like he was doing something about energy prices. It didn't help much in that regard but caused plenty of chaos in the IT sector where a significant amount of systems were designed to adjust twice a year for DST but weren't designed for the date span of DST to change.
