Brazilian state of Goiás may abolish DST
According to some news Brazilian state of Goiás may abolish DST: "The Energy and Mines Commission of the House of Representatives approved a Legislative Decree that suspends daylight saving time in Goiás." http://www.infomoney.com.br/minhas-financas/consumo/noticia/7061178/comissao... Also, ".... this year the federal government even considered not implementing daylight saving time, but left the decision to 2018." Alexander Krivenyshev https://www.WorldTimeZone.com

Thanks for the heads-up. Although it is not clear from the article, presumably the change would take effect in October 2018, if it becomes law.
Hello, Please see the data table for proposed DST bills by state: https://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_usa07.html and also reference image of USA time zones map (current and "future"- if all current DST bill pass) https://www.worldtimezone.com/images/2019-04-new-wtz-map-usa.gif courtesy of WorldTimeZone.com Some summary: - New England states (Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Connecticut) plus Florida, Delaware, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina hope to adopt DST permanently which would change them from Eastern Standard Time (EST) to Atlantic Standard Time (AST). Surprisingly, Washington D.C. also proposed similar bill (22-0775) that was introduced in Apr 10, 2018 and probably has not moved forward. - New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and all Michigan state (currently use 2 time zones) prefer to eliminate DST and stay in Eastern Standard Time (EST) year-round. - Alabama, Arkansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Iowa want to adopt DST permanently which would change them from Central Standard Time (CST) to Eastern Standard Time (EST). - Kansas, Oklahoma prefer to drop DST and stay in Central Standard Time (CST) year-round. - Meanwhile Texas, Georgia would like to have a referendum allowing voters to indicate a preference for exempting the state from DST or to use DST time year-round. - Some states with 2 times zones would like to unify under single time zone (Indiana, North Dakota) - Pacific cost states (California, Washington, and Oregon) would like to stay on DST year- round which would change them from Pacific Standard Time (PST) to Mountain Standard Time (MST). - Alaska, Colorado, New Mexico prefer to stay in their current time zone year-round (no DST). - Montana, Wyoming, Utah prefer to adopt DST permanently and move from Mountain Standard Time (MST) to Central Standard Time (CST) zone. P.S. The data is changeable and should only be used as reference / guideline and doesn't presumed to be 100% up to date. Cheers, Alexander Krivenyshev https://www.WorldTimeZone.com

It's like people somehow believe that it'll give you more sunlight at night even in the winter, but it'll be at the expense of having to get up even earlier in the dark. What's wrong with just Standard Time all year round, as it was originally intended (sun roughly overhead at noon), and maybe with seasonal adjustments to your work and school schedules?

It's easier to reset clocks semiannually than to repaint the signs on shop doors semiannually, notwithstanding some IT disruptions due to anachronistic transaction timestamps in the Fall. And consistency counts. Pick a time zone. -- gil
It is people who think getting up earlier are more "hardworking and "productive" and "people can do more to help the economy. Moving the clock earlier can force people to do things written in contracts, for example employment contracts, earlier without having to change the contract itself. I would say it's a hate crime against people who prefer get up late. 在 2019年4月26日週五 17:59,Randal L. Schwartz <merlyn@stonehenge.com> 寫道:
