My country (Italy) could simply leave DST on all year long and it will be better suited to our way of living. Spain basically did it for the last 90 years when they moved to the timezone of GMT+1 from GMT+0 where they belong. As a bonus they got DST in the summer. After all I could get a double DST in the summer too. All that light at 5 AM is wasted.
- taeric 1y agoThis is part of what I find "quaint" about the conversation. I think there is basically no argument that many states and nations could just stick to a single timezone. Essentially, the closer to the equator you are, the less you are impacted by daylight changing. So, calling it "quaint" is wrong. But a lot of talking past each other. The shift in daylight is much more dramatic for people further from the equator.
