Daylight Savings time: How is this still a thing?

41. It seems that a lot of people really don't get it that, depending on where we live,

and no matter what the arbitrary time standard is where they live, in the summer the sun will still rise earlier and set later than it does in the winter.

And I am constantly astonished at the people who complain bitterly that it takes them WEEKS if not MONTHS to adjust each time. I gather an awful lot of people have never crossed a time zone or two, which is pretty much what the change between the two time standards is the equivalent of.

The real problem is that we make the change too early in the spring and too late in the winter. DST should start no sooner than mid-April, and end no later than the end of September. Or, if we're going to go off it completely, let's stick with standard time.

And has anyone here even noticed that most of the rest of the world also switches back and forth? I wonder if these same complaints pop up everywhere?
