Around a year ago, the EU got all hyped-up....that they could finally do something that the general public demanded (probably in the 95-percent range)....get rid of daylight-savings time.
Yep. This was going to be the fine moment of the EU.
Well....so far, it's not accomplished, and there is some hint that the EU may not be capable of ridding Europe of DST.
First, it came out as a discussion item....should you stay permanently on summer-time or winter-time. Some countries want summer-time as the permanent fixture. Some folks have suggested winter-time.
Then we came to the problem that various countries were leading toward a patchwork situation....which the EU wanted to avoid at all cost.
Prioritization on this now? Well, that's the other issue appearing. It's not exactly a top-ten problem. Some political folks might even go and suggest it's way down there in number fifty problem area.
In Germany alone? As each shift of time comes up....it's readily apparent that roughly 95-to-99 percent of Germans are fed-up with DST, and want it dumped. It's hard to find anyone....even an intellectual....that supports it. You would think that farmers might find some reason to support it, but generally....that's not true.
The odds that in five years....it still exists, and the EU gives up the change idea? It's looking more and more likely.
