Everyone in Europe wants to abolish DST, the problem is the consensus for what comes after. So the discussion is stuck since 2019. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_time_in_Europe

> ...the problem is the consensus for what comes after.

When one can't decide between two roughly equivalent options, there's a really cool way to choose between them! Assign each option to a side of a fair coin, flip the coin, and select the one whose side is face up.

It's really neat how many thorny problems can be either eliminated or made substantially less thorny with the careful addition of some randomness.

I'd fight tooth and nail for them not to take an hour of sunlight from me during summer evenings.

It is not roughly the same if the sun rises an hour earlier instead, at 04:30 instead of 05:30.

I don't get up before 08:30 and I will not somehow adjust my schedule by three hours to use the sunlight in the morning.

I barely even noticed it happened.
