A lot of people today say they'd like to see DST eliminated, but I thought everybody loves how in the summer we get daylight till 9pm and that's what they miss as the season ends. No matter what, every year we have to adjust to the variation of daylight hours. For me, adjusting to the clock change for a day or two is nothing compared to that...which we can do nothing about. Well, unless we move near the Equator. But they don't get the long days we do

Far as my travels go, I think only US and Canada seem to be the only ones using it (not sure about Mexico). No one in the Far east Asia or Europe use it from what I remember. Don't think southern hemisphere uses i t either.
I stand corrected, some of Europe does it now too.
