The United States is one of the only countries in the world where people change their clocks twice per year.

    “one of the only countries in the world”?

    Most of Europe, New Zealand, most of Canada, some of Australia, Chile & Egypt all observe DST of some form. Strange opening spin to the article.

    But I agree it needs to be got rid of.

      That’s less than a third of the countries in the world.

      Go for it. I’m sure it will go better than the last time they tried it.

        If they do permanent Standard Time instead of Daylight Savings Time then it probably will go better.

        Didn’t some kid get hit by a car or something walking to school in the dark?
