Is DST still a forbidden topic? We're about to find out!
There are countless reasons why the US should be on standard time right now (October 30th) instead of DST.
This week, in particular, is just too much:
(1) Halloween should unquestionably be on standard time (darker in the evenings).
(2) Mornings are now too dark! It's ridiculous that the latest sunrise of the year is this Saturday, instead of being near the winter solstice.
(3) The US should remain in sync with the EU/rest of the world as much as possible.
(4) Just 5 months are entirely or partially on DST. Going back to an October end date would make that 6 months (more even).
(5) The start date and end date of DST are out of sync, relative to the equinoxes (and thus, our natural clocks). The first weekend of November strings it out just too long, as evidenced by the extremely dark mornings making it borderline impossible to wake up this week!
Thus, the end date of DST should be moved back at least one week, to allow the US population a smoother and healthier transition into the shortest solar days of the year!
