It woudl have been much smarter for the USA to switch to the same time change dates as the rest of the world.

Having to go through the troubles of changing the DST logic is stupid since it is still going to be a proprietary USA time that some nearby courntries are essentially forced to also adopt.

Countries near the USA who are forced, for practical reasons, to follow USA changes have no say/vote in your political process. It is very unfortunate that locally elected proliticians are allowed to impose their will outside their own jurisdiction.

Time changes should involve cooperative effort between countries, not some unilateral decision by local politicians of one country who just want to be able to brag about having solved the ebergy problem without really thinking thorugh all the ramifications.

They can do all they want that affects only their jurisdisdiction. but when it has effects outside their jurisdiction, it shouldn't be so easy for uneducated stupid baby kissing politicians to pass some silly law.
